The Magpie Box

Past and future collide as a mysterious power source reaches its limit.

   Two hundred years post apocalypse, a storm is brewing over the Appalachian mountain range as a young woman plagued by elusive memories leaves home to pursue a career as an airship stewardess.

   Captured by the pirate crew of the Defiant Joy, Maggie Piper is imprisoned in a cell where she begins to realize the lies surrounding her past, and her father's connection to "the Coil," an ancient power source that generates electricity without the need of fuel—but at an ultimately devastating price.

   Inspired by the Joy's captain and crew, Maggie finds the confidence to face enemies on all fronts, but a dreadful decision lies on the horizon. To save the entire world from a plague of insanity, she must choose to destroy the Coil.

   Pursued by the captains of industry and a frivolous queen, who have no desire to face the facts of their situation, can Maggie find a way to save civilization?
