"I'm starting to think you're the scariest monster in here." - And that's just what her friends say about her. When Emily Coldstone discovers the lightning gem in the smouldering ruins of a crashed airship, her own fate, along with that of those she loves and those she hates, is sealed. Experimenting with the gem’s powers, Emily is awakened as a Mage and finds herself inducted into a secret world of magic by a mysterious entity, who sets her a task that will take her from the slums of her birth to war in the far reaches of space. For Emily is far more powerful than anyone could have imagined. Not only is Emily a Mage, she is a Mechanic; her talents combining to create a Technomancer, a being capable of building herself an indestructible body, an army of spell-flinging robots, and her very own time machine. The universe will know her wrath! What to expect: -A steampunk era starter planet with a secret magic society -A main character who will be broken down and rebuilt into a magical cyborg killing machine -A dash of physics -A squeeze of magic -A sprinkling of girl's love -And eventual space pirates!
