She survived the end of the world—and what came after—by talking to her twin’s ghost in a secret language they call the Twinkling. Transformed into a biomechanical robot, she’s been charged with protecting the Bay Area—now Yerba City—alongside an army of her clones called the Josephines.

But whenYerba City is threatened by a devastating language virus, the Twinkling is the only thing that stands between the last shreds of civilization and the Babble.There’s just one problem—the head of Josephine One has been stolen, and it contains the language’s secrets.
