Elsa was born in a world written into existence by scriptology, a science where the right pen, book, and author can craft entire realities. Her mother is a master scriptologist, constantly altering their world.
Until the day assassins strike, their home burns, and her mother is kidnapped.
To save her, Elsa must cross into the real world: an alternate Victorian Italy alive with inventors, alchemists, and other scriptologists. Joining forces with a secret society of young geniuses—including Leo, a sharp-tongued mechanist with a tragic past—she uncovers a conspiracy to unleash the most dangerous weapon ever created.
The clock is ticking, enemies are closing in, and worlds are at stake.
Because if someone can write a world into existence… they can also erase it.
