Summary
Gil wakes up chained to a chair in Castle Heterodyne.
That's bad.
But he's been brought there to have dinner with the Lady Heterodyne, who is smart and pretty and interesting.
That's good.
He's been brought there by Saturnus Heterodyne, because he's under the impression that Gil is the biological son of Petrus Teuful, and thus an excellent potential suitor for his beloved granddaughter.
That's bad.
But Agatha is wonderful, and Saturnus promises to keep Gil's "true parentage" a secret. If Gil is lucky, he might get out of this with a girlfriend, and without getting fed to one of the castle's deathtraps.
Klaus would just like people to not kidnap his son, thank you very much.

Summary
A prequel to 'Helpful, in a Heterodyne Sort of Way'!
Everyone knows Agatha Sannikova can't be a Heterodyne, even if she did arrive mysteriously one night to live with Lady Teodora and Lord Saturnus. She's got those headaches, and she's not too bright - she's not even a Spark! Besides, Lady Teodora says she isn't; Agatha's just her ward. Lady Teodora is an honest woman, everyone knows that.
She does get along quite well with Lord Saturnus, which is a bit odd, but we're all just glad he's doing better - she's had a very good affect on his health. He's even talking again! Lady Teodora doesn't like the kind of, er, "life lessons" he's tried to teach her, but Agatha hasn't set anyone on fire or unleashed any terrifying monstrosities on the town.
And that's another reason we know she's no Heterodyne. If she was, chaos would follow in her wake, intentionally or not. And she's very normal. Boring even.
...what do you mean, tempting fate?

Summary
Agatha did not know she was the daughter of William Heterodyne and Lucrezia Mongfish. She thought she was the beloved ward of Lady Teodora Vodenicharova, and the unexpected but equally beloved companion of Lord Saturnus Heterodyne.
Agatha did not know that the debilitating headaches that earned her the scorn and (worse) the pity of her fellow Mechanicsburgers were caused by the locket her uncle gave her. She thought she was stupid, useless, and broken.
Now she knows she is Lady Agatha Heterodyne, rightful ruler of Mechanicsburg. Now she knows she is a Spark.
When she learns the truth, Agatha inadvertently kicks off a series of events that reopens old wounds, drags secrets into the light, and brings war to the doorstep of the all but defenseless Mechanicsburg. Saturnus struggles to crush his enemies with a town almost as broken as his body; Agatha, determined to undo the chaos she's unleashed, plunges into the depths of Castle Heterodyne.
Raised by a literal saint and the devil incarnate, Agatha - with an unleashed mind, a burning spark, and a band of very unexpected allies - will fight to do the unthinkable: be a good Heterodyne and a good person.
