Ok, these are going to have to be shorter, I am WAY behind!
From her childhood, Fever Crumb was an unusual child. Taken in by Dr. Crumb of the Order of Engineers, she is raised in a world where logic is valued above all else and emotion is shunned. There are no women in the Order, which makes Fever stand out; but she also has unusual physical features which she discovers remind people of the dreaded Scriven, a not-quite-human race that was wiped out after years of human oppression. When Fever is sent to live with and assist the archeaologist Kit Solvent, she begins to discover a tangled web of mysteries and for the first time is thrown into an emotionally charged world. Fever must learn to balance reason with emotion if she is to solve the mysteries of her past, and protect her future from the political upheaval of her society.
