Rise of the Arcane Fire by Kristin Bailey 453 pages
Mysteries of Meg's past and threats to her future are revealed in the
second book in The Secret Order trilogy, set in steampunk Victorian
London.After her parents died in a fire and her grandfather disappeared,
Meg Whitlock thought her life had come to a standstill. But when she
learned that the pocket watch her grandfather left her was really an
intricate key, Meg, with the help of a stable hand named Will, uncovered
the Amusementists: members of an elite secret society dedicated to
discovery and shrouded in mystery.
Now the Amusementists are
convening in London, and Meg is determined to join their ranks. But
being the first girl in the Order has its difficulties, and with Will
away in Scotland, Meg fears she can't trust anyone but herself. Her
worries are only supported by the sabotage happening at the academy,
with each altered invention being more harmful than the last.
With
threats lurking around every corner, and while trying to prove her
worth as the first female Amusementist, Meg must uncover the identity of
the academy's saboteur before the botched devices become deadly. And
after she finds evidence of a sinister and forbidden invention, Meg must
stop it - or risk the entire future of the Amusementists.
