Publisher Description

In a world on the brink of war, a young Scottish inventor named Danielle Walker creates a steam-powered walking machine that could change the course of history.

When her father and brother join the Jacobite rising of 1745, Danielle's invention becomes a key weapon in the fight against the British.

But as the war intensifies, Danielle finds herself caught in a dangerous web of intrigue and betrayal.

Forced to disguise herself as a man to protect her inventions and her life, Danielle must use all her ingenuity and courage to survive.

With the help of a loyal band of friends, including three resourceful sailors and a mischievous puppeteer-turned-spy, Danielle faces down her enemies and fights for the future she believes in.

Will Danielle's steam-powered creations be enough to secure victory for the Jacobites? Or will her inventions be turned against her?
