The main character, Linh Cinder, is a talented mechanic who lives in the Eastern Commonwealth. She's also a cyborg, part human and part machine, which leads to her facing prejudice. The story happens in a future where Earth is dealing with a dangerous disease, and there's tension between humans and the Lunar people living on the moon.

Cinder's life gets complicated when she meets Prince Kai, and her world becomes wrapped up in politics and mysteries. She ends up in the middle of finding a cure for the disease and dealing with Lunar threats while also discovering her own mysterious background.
