"...(Padgett) Lively delivers an exciting romp through time." -Publishers Weekly Review

Ballerina * Rebel * Hero

Odette Speex lives in a world of steam-powered coaches and swift, sleek airships. It is a world where social and scientific advances are mired in the past and a corrupt nobility rules supreme. Odette loathes the aristocrats, especially the powerful Earl of Westchester, a man whose vindictiveness destroys her ballet career. But it is her genius twin brother, Odell, who puts her life in peril when he reveals a dangerous secret. His time-traveling technology has been used to change history, and only Odette can reverse it. Pursued by the treacherous Earl of Westchester, she races back over two hundred years in time to eighteenth-century London. Odette assembles an unlikely group of allies who together must stop an unscrupulous mastermind from subverting history yet again. Fast-paced, romantic, and suspenseful, Odette Speex seamlessly blends alternate history, time travel, and historical fiction in a story of love and twisted ambition.
