Teenage

In 1897 England, sixteen year old Finley Jayne has no one....except the "thing" inside her. When a young lord tries to take advantage of Finley, she fights back. And wins. But no normal Victorian girl has a darker side that makes her capable of knocking out a full grown man with one punch... Only Griffin King sees the magical darkness inside her that says she's special, says she's one of them. The orphaned duke takes her in from the gas lit streets against the wishes of his band of misfits - Emily, who has her own special abilities and an unrequited love for Sam who's part robot, and Jasper, an American cowboy with a shadowy secret. Griffin's investigating a criminal called the Machinest, the mastermind behind several recent crimes by automatrons. Finlay thinks she can help - and finally be a part of something. But the Machinist wants to tear Griff's little company of strays apart, and it isn't too long before trust is tested on all sides. At least Finley knows whose side she's on - even if no one believes her.
