Mechanical Angel: A Steampunk Tale (Unabridged‪)‬

Alel is Relic and has learned she must hide to survive on the Black Streets. It is her red hair, one of the marks of her bloodline, that causes her death at the hands of men desperate to claim something pure as their own. 

Yet she awakes, and she is no longer all human. Her creator, Sir Jax, is a man of the White Streets, but it does not take Alel long to discover the two streets are no different. Women and children are nothing more than slaves at the mercy of men who are cruel and constantly seek more wealth and status. But there is one she is drawn to, and she fears he is only interested in her Relic blood. 

Sir Jax places Alel as the guardian of his mechanical creations and five part-human, part-machine children. The more Alel learns of the man who holds them all prisoner, the more she determines she must find freedom. 

But how can one woman dare to defy the dictates of a society ruled by greed and cruelty to find happiness for herself and the children she comes to love?
