Explore the questions our own human history evokes. Humanity doesn t know enough about our own history and as a result we are set to fail as a species. We measure our ancestors by our curent understanding of technology. We can t begin to fathom the feats they were able to accompolish, which far surpassed our own abilites. At first glance we can marvel at how far we ve come as a species, but have we been paying attention? Have our efforts been in the best interest of all or might our hunger for more be our demise? Take a journey to investigate not only where we ve been but will also let history serve as a warning to where we are going. Will we be able to survive ourselves and our own technological advancements? Can awareness save us or will it be too late?

A reckless dareAn all-girls secret societyA mission to destroy Westinghouse's lightsAnd monsters hiding in the greatest city of the nineteenth century Chicago, 1893 When Clara arrives at St. Joan's Academy for Girls, she tells no one about her family's connection to the school: how her great-aunt went missing from there years prior. But once Clara infiltrates the school's secret society—the Alouettes—she learns there have been others to have vanished from St. Joan's, and all clues point to the next disappearance occurring on the first day of the Chicago World's Fair. Fernando escaped the collapse of his family's business in Brooklyn through the financial help of Mr. Rex Winston, a financier at the World's Fair. Now Fernando works on the Ferris Wheel to pay Winston back, but when he runs out of time to honor his debt, Winston makes him a deal: absolution if Fernando can destroy the fair's expensive incandescent light show, a task Fernando has no choice but to accept. Clara's initiation to join the Alouettes leads her onto the fairgrounds, where she meets Fernando during a heights-defying dare not for the faint of heart. Together, they learn of a bigger mystery in Chicago, one that powerful men are desperate to keep secret. But once they look closer at the link between the missing girls and Westinghouse's forthcoming light show, Clara, Fernando, and the Alouettes find themselves in the company of a danger the city knows nothing about. Content Warning: Death, violence, mutilation, kidnapping, firearms, weapons, horror, profanity, one conversation implying self-harm.
