In a city powered by steam and ruled by order, one soul is about to set the world on fire.
Lady Cinder Charedice is the perfect wife of Aethelburg's most powerful industrialist-another flawless possession in his collection. Living in a gilded cage of clockwork and steam, she is a testament to his success. But when a mysterious explorer speaks of a world beyond the city's smog-choked sky, a dangerous spark of rebellion ignites within her.
Cinder finds an outlet in a radical new art form, translating her secret turmoil into luminous creations that defy her rigid world. When she flees her life of privilege, her art becomes a weapon, making her an accidental icon for the city's downtrodden and a direct threat to her husband's empire. Now, with the city's most powerful man hunting her, Cinder must decide how much she will risk to forge a life she can truly call her own.
A stunning reimagining of a classic tale, Cinder's Last Gasp is a sweeping steampunk epic about art, identity, and the revolutionary courage it takes to break the mold and forge a new soul from the ashes of a life you were never meant to live.
