Authors: Emma Trevayne
Here, in this London, the compass worked. The needle spun, making up its pointed little mind, and decided on which way was north. Jack curled his clockwork hand in his pocket—he was going to have a grand time showing
that
to Mother and Father—and set his feet to Mayfair.
To Mayfaer and the Mayfaeries!
Not quite. But it was home.
