The Tinkerer's Daughter
Author: Jamie Sedgwick
Desc: Breeze is an outcast a half-breed orphan born into a world torn apart by a thousand years of war. Breeze never knew her elven mother and when her human father is recalled to the war he leaves her in the safest place he knows: in the care of a reclusive tinker. The Tinkerman's inventions are frightening at first -noisy smelly dangerous machines with no practical use- but when the war comes home Breeze sees an opportunity. If she can pull it off she'll change the world forever. If she fails she'll be considered a traitor by both lands and will be hunted to her death.
