The Magnificent Devices series by [[http://shelleyadina.com Shelley Adina]] is a Steampunk series.
The books are set in an alternate Victorian age where the combustion engine has been a flop and steam-powered devices are capable of sending the adventurous to another city, another continent ... or even another world.
The series follows Lady Claire Trevelyan, a young woman of resources and intellect, as she makes her way in the world. Claire does not have much patience for the life of a proper lady. Instead she intends to go to university, study Engineering and become a fine scientist.
She has but just graduated when her father loses the family fortune and kills himself. Through a series of unfortunate events she finds herself on the streets, taking charge of a band of ragamuffins. Through application of lessons in mathematics, strategy and poker they manage to keep themselves alive. Claire's prowess in Chemistry, Engineering and their practical application in the rough life on the wrong side of the river earn her the title Lady of Devices. But there are still Claire's mother and Lord James Selwyn, who expect Claire to be a proper lady and be married to Lord James by Christmas.
