This turned out to be a whole lot more relevant to the present than I originally expected. At first, that argument seems to be the central tension in The Fire Opal Mechanism. Information may want to be free, but there are always people and institutions working to keep it caged and under their control. When they stumble upon a mysterious clock powered by an ancient jewel, they may discover secrets in the past that will change the future forever. Ania, a rumpled librarian, is trying to protect her books from the Pressmen, who value knowledge but none of the humanity that generates it.
Jorit, broke and branded a thief, just wants to escape the Far Reaches for something better. Jewels and their lapidaries and have all but passed into myth.
