By day, Ida is a maid in the employ of spoiled Lucinda Belmote. By night, she is the infamous sneak thief the Rat Prince, terrorising the wealthy inhabitants of Loxport. Magpies is a thrilling romp through the Steampunk city of Loxport, a story of found family, crimes plotted over afternoon tea, and the sinister power of glowing gemstones.

Lord Devon Casterbury has found a new vein of the dangerous gemstone Kaelinite, and the inventions that he patents are slowly seeping into Loxport; turning citizens into the very worst versions of themselves. And now, he's set his sights on The Gilded Gear, a prestigious award that would give him power to mould the city to his will.
