Gears

My name is Marbrey Small, but my vision has always been large. By hard work and study, I got myself off the street and built a business from the ground up.
Now my magic is changing and mechanical people are beginning to look like you and me. Others have claimed it is my fault, but can I be blamed for things out of my control?
My lover is trying to protect me from the fallout, but even a duke can’t fight back against the magistrate all alone. This is my story of how a street rat became a duke’s lover and the beacon of hope and hate.
