Synopsis
A stand-alone novel from the author of *The Assassin's Curse* and *The Pirate's Wish*. "Cat, this is Finn. He’s going to be your tutor." He looks and acts human, though he has no desire to be. He was programmed to assist his owners, and performs his duties to perfection. A billion-dollar construct, his primary task now is to tutor Cat. As she grows into a beautiful young woman, Finn is her guardian, her constant companion... and more. But when the government grants rights to the ever-increasing robot population, however, Finn struggles to find his place in the world. Following her acclaimed Young Adult debut for Strange Chemistry, *The Assassin's Curse*, the very talented Cassandra Rose Clarke moves on to more adult themes, in a heartbreaking story of love, loss... and robots.
