In an empire ruled by gears, steam, and secrets, power is no longer inherited.
It's built.
Ever since the Great Mechanization, the city of New Londria has thrived under the reign of the Flesh-and-Brass Monarchs - sovereigns whose hearts beat with human blood and mechanical precision. But when whispers spread of a new heir forged entirely of steel, the fragile peace between the nobility and the underground inventors' guilds threatens to shatter.
For Felix Hargrove, a disgraced engineer exiled for treasonous designs, the rumors are more than dangerous - they're personal. Because the prototype for the Clockwork Throne bears the unmistakable marks of his forbidden work.
Drawn back into a web of court politics, masked societies, and deadly airship duels, Felix must decide whether to expose the truth and risk war, or help crown a ruler who could change humanity forever - for better, or much, much worse.
As gears turn and loyalties grind down to dust, Felix learns that in New Londria, the true battle isn't fought with armies.
It's fought in the shadows - with ideas, inventions, and betrayals.
Atmospheric, thrilling, and brimming with brass and intrigue, The Clockwork Throne is a standalone alternate history fantasy perfect for fans of Philip Reeve, Genevieve Cogman, and the daring adventures of steampunk rebellion.
The future isn't written in blood anymore.
It's etched in iron.
