Clockwork Heart

If you enjoy steampunk then you will definitely enjoy Clockwork Heart. Taya is
an Icarus who flies throughout the skies of Ondinium carrying messages
regardless of castes. She manages to become involved in uncovering deception,
treason, and murder as well as finding a little romance.

A steampunkish romantic fantasy set in Ondinium, a city that beats to the ticking of a clockwork heart. Taya, a metal-winged courier, can travel freely across the city's sectors and mingle indiscriminately among its castes. A daring mid-air rescue leads to involvement with two scions of an upperclass family and entanglement in a web of terrorism, loyalty, murder, and secrets.
