This four-book set contains the "Claire Quartet"--Lady of Devices, Her Own Devices, Magnificent Devices, and Brilliant Devices, an edition of over 250,000 words.

All she wants is to be an engineer, but her parents--and society--will never allow it. Until riots break out in steampunk London and she seizes her chance...

At 17, Claire Trevelyan, daughter of Viscount St. Ives, was expected to do nothing more than pour an elegant cup of tea, sew a fine seam, and catch a rich husband. Unfortunately, Claire's talents lie not in the ballroom, but in the chemistry lab, where things have a regrettable habit of blowing up. When her father gambles the estate on the combustion engine and loses, Claire finds herself down and out on the mean streets of London. But being a young woman of resources and intellect, she turns fortune on its head...

A South Bank gang--Snouts, Tigg, Jake, 10-year-old twin girls called the Mopsies, Weepin' Willie, and Rosie the chicken--soon become Claire's flock. But concealing her secret life becomes increasingly difficult, particularly when a powerful lord proposes and she and her friends are forced to flee on an airship to the Americas.

Will she achieve her goal of becoming an engineer? Will her loyalty to her friends be her undoing when it jeopardizes the plans of powerful men who desire money more than honor? And just how many funerals will her unfortunate mother be forced to arrange?

"An immensely fun series with some excellent anti-sexist messages, a wonderful main character (one of my favourites in the genre) and a great sense of Victorian style and language that's both fun and beautiful to read." -- Fangs for the Fantasy: The latest in urban fantasy from a social justice perspective
