About this story
She wakes up talking, teasing, and choosing her own name. Forty chapters of first tastes and shop-counter kisses, a fairground panic attack, and the discovery that her new heart runs on joy and is running out — while the green-eyed magician who owned her before is not done with her yet.
Who you’ll meet
An automaton woman brought to life by a clockwork heart-engine, and Moran, the necromancer occultist who once owned her and has come to collect.
