About this audiobook

In the smog-choked city of Neo-London, expelled engineer Isabella Klein hides her forbidden gift—the ability to “hear” machines speak. When a mysterious gear tied to an ancient war engine falls into her hands, she is thrust into a conspiracy spanning empires. Pursued by soldiers, spies, and mechanical hunters, Isabella must master her power to prevent the resurrection of Orgalos, a sentient weapon that once destroyed civilizations. Blending steampunk mystery, political intrigue, and philosophical reflection, Whispers of the Brass Cog tells the story of one woman who dares to give machines a soul—and humanity a second chance.
