Author Description

In the heart of the clockwork, rebellion ticks. Potsdam, 1783. In a world governed by the incorruptible logic of gears and Prussian discipline, Elias Thorne dreams a dangerous dream. As the son of a brilliant watchmaker, precision is in his blood, but his heart beats not to the rhythm of mechanics, but to the wild pulse of electricity-the fire from the sky. Mocked as "Sparky-Elias" and dismissed by established science, he flees to London, the smoking heart of the new age. Here, in secret, he begins the construction of the Aetheria-an airship powered by his revolutionary theory of the Aether-Wing. Only one person recognizes his genius: Lady Amelia Sterling, a brilliant aristocrat on a desperate search for her lost brother, who vanished in the mythical "Eye of Stillness". Together, they forge a pact of brass and courage. But their creation awakens the greed of the most powerful organization in the world: the East India Company. When sabotage escalates and agents storm their secret workshop, their only escape is forward-straight into the clouds. Yet, above the rooftops of London, freedom does not await, but rather a deadly race against the steel power of the Empire and its experimental war airships. Skystrikers: The Clockmaker's Legacy is the captivating start to an epic steampunk adventure about the price of progress and the indomitable will to shatter the boundaries of the known world. For fans of atmospheric historical fantasy, ingenious inventions, and daring expeditions. While the volumes build upon one another to tell an epic, overarching story, each novel is crafted as a self-contained adventure. Every book concludes a central mission and can therefore be enjoyed on its own.
