Historical Fiction
Bodkin Bell, orphan, pickpocket and survivor, doesn't know where she came from, but she knows she's different.
For years, she was 'Little Spark', the star of an electrifying sideshow - until the act went too far and she ended up in a London gaol.
Now she's been offered a way out. A chance to serve at Point Mote, a vast, desolate house marooned on the misty Kent marshes. There, she will assist a reclusive family of cunning inventors in the creation of lifelike machines for which gentlemen collectors will pay handsomely.
But this house of wonders hides mysteries too.
