When Serena arrives at the Emendatorium, she only aims to survive. But keeping her mouth closed and her curiosity at bay has never come easily for her.

In this correctional facility for the children of traitors, the wardens watch and wait for Serena to make a mistake. Mythomechanical machines monitor her, regulate her life, and tempt her to discover their secrets. The other inmates all have secrets of their own, and any one of them could be a crucial ally—or a deadly liability.

Most important of all, Serena must safeguard her Codex, a piece of mythomechanical machinery that holds most of her memories. Without it, she would lose her connection to magic—and her very identity.

But when a mysterious woman named Angel contacts Serena, she begins to wonder how reliable her memory really is.
