With the world's oceans ravaged by climate change, Émeraude, a young marine biologist, works tirelessly to preserve aquatic ecosystems by recreating them for zoos. When her groundbreaking work earns her a coveted spot aboard a research vessel with an extended mission in the Arctic, it is the undeniable allure of the ocean that will ultimately save her when the world she leaves behind is irrevocably transformed.

In her poignant reflections, Émeraude explores the intricate tapestry of her ancestors' lives, revealing a rich history of resilience, courage, and determination. From a young sailor abandoned at birth to a conjuror who blends potions for her neighbors, a violent young man who seeks refuge in the woods to escape a more violent war, and a talented young singer born to a mother who cannot speak, these stories weave their way through Émeraude's intimate narrative, shaping her modest life in profound ways.

A RARE MACHINES BOOK is a captivating and thought-provoking exploration of the human spirit, the power of nature, and the enduring legacy of our ancestors. It is a testament to the resilience of the human race and a reminder that even in the face of adversity, we can find hope and inspiration in the simplest of things.
