When the Prince Kai of the Eastern Commonwealth shows up at Linh Cinder's bench to have her repair an android with confidential information, the cyborg is thrown from the world she knows and hates. Suddenly, the cyborg mechanic is questioning everything, all while running from the Queen of the Moon's and the Earthern Union's forces – as the world's most wanted fugitive. Because she's immune to the Lunar's powers over the manipulation of bioelectricity – meaning immune to being “glamoured” into killing herself or loving the tyrant queen, even though Cinder has this ability as well. Which means that she's the only one who can end the Queen Levana's dictatorship. But for that, Cinder needs to make allies: A runaway “Captain” with more confidence and appreciation for priceless artifacts than healthy. A bio-engineered wolf hybrid and the girl whose grandmother hid the rightful heir to the Lunar throne. Levana's most capable spy imprisoned in a satellite, and the queen's own stepdaughter: The most beautiful princess the world has ever seen, who's talking frequently about bleeding walls in the palace. Not to mention the guard she fell for, the ship's computer and, hopefully one day, Kai himself. And all the while, Levana's war goes on, threatening to destroy everyone Cinder cares for.
