Historical | Fantasy Steampunk
Rich in atmosphere, imagination, and fun, the action-packed, magic-
filled
sequel to The Clockwork Dagger is an enchanting steampunk fantasy,
evocative of the works of Trudi Canavan and Gail Carriger. Narrowly surviving assassination and capture, Octavia Leander, a
powerful
magical healer, is on the run with handsome Alonzo Garrett, the
Clockwork
Dagger who forfeited his career with the Queen’s secret society of
spies
and killers—and possibly his life—to save her. Now, they are on a
dangerous quest to find safety and answers: Why is Octavia so
powerful? Why
does she seem to be undergoing a transformation unlike any witnessed
for
hundreds of years? The truth may rest with the source of her mysterious healing powerâ
€”the
Lady’s Tree. But the tree lies somewhere in a rough, inhospitable
territory
known as the Waste. Eons ago, this land was made barren and
uninhabitable
by an evil spell, until a few hardy souls dared to return over the
last century.
For years, the Waste has waged a bloody battle against the royal court
to win
its independence—and they need Octavia’s powers to succeed. Joined by unlikely allies, including a menagerie of gremlin
companions, she
must evade killers and Clockwork Daggers on a dangerous journey
through a
world on the brink of deadly civil war.
