In an alternate 1908 London where imagination itself is being licensed and erased, a dutiful bureaucrat must choose between the institution she has served her entire life and the freedom of ordinary people to create.
Eliza Vale is a junior classification officer at the Marigold Bureau of Unlikely Inventions, respected for her precision but ignored as an inventor herself; she wants nothing more than to earn promotion to Senior Registrar by presenting a practical civic invention, until a catastrophic parliamentary demonstration makes her the scapegoat for a machine that is deleting unlicensed inventions—and the memories of the people who created them.
With her career in ruins and London's creative life vanishing one magical device at a time, Eliza must work with Julian Ashdown, a glamorous patent solicitor who believes rules exist to prevent explosions, to uncover a conspiracy that threatens to control all imagination in the city.
This witty, optimistic gaslamp fantasy delivers a slow-burn rivals-to-lovers romance, absurd magical inventions like argumentative paper birds and self-stirring teapots, and a fiercely independent heroine who discovers that belonging means protecting the imperfect, creative people who give a community its life—readers who love comic historical fantasy with heart, adventure, and a triumphant message about the unstoppable power of human creativity will devour this story and rush to leave glowing reviews.
