Overall Content Rating: Parental Guidance PG
This third installment in a steampunk series follows Nyssa and Ellis as they take in a young pickpocket and try to build a steadier home life while old enemies and new threats close in. The tone is adventurous and relationship-focused, with twists and suspense rather than graphic material. For content-aware parents: expect brief romantic kissing, whispered prayers and a short exchange about personal faith, very limited strong language, and fight scenes that yield bumps, bruises, or a small cut without lingering gore. Reviewers often suggest capable readers around twelve and up.

About this book
Book Three in the Nyssa Glass Steampunk Series Like clockwork, the past always comes back around. When larceny is the family business, it's hard to make a clean break. Reformed cat-burglar Nyssa Glass has finally gotten her life back together. She has her own electrical repair shop, a boyfriend who adores her, and for once, no one is trying to have her arrested. When the shop door rings, though, a man she hoped to never see again threatens to ruin everything. Uncle Albert forced her into a life of crime and now he's convinced she owes him for her success. Nyssa would rather die than give her uncle a penny. But with her reputation on the line and a thieving orphan in the mix she finds herself stuck between the gears. Will Nyssa free herself from the clutches of the past or is everything she’s worked for going up in smoke? Read more
