DESCRIPTION:
There is no going back.” That suits Aleria. Only a few close friends support her. How will these backward people cope? And in this realm, so removed from the rest of its world, we find Aleria, equally out of touch with her society. Farm machinery and the printing press have already arrived; steam engines and repeating rifles are on the way. For her, there has always been only one direction: forward.. And then one of her stunts goes wrong and throws her into an ordeal that destroys her confidence and cripples her emotions. Seeking a solution, Aleria starts down an unusual path for one of her station. Her loving parents despair for her future, in fear that her next prank will prove harmful to herself or someone else. Born into a Ranked family, she has no interest in the mannerly social world of her classmates. All their activities seem flat, pale and useless, and she constantly schemes to spice up her life.

It gave a little bit of insight into the world
