Clockwork and Clouds
The Great Engine is failing.
For generations it has powered the floating cities of humanity, purifying poisoned air and keeping civilization alive above a ruined world. Now mysterious mechanical failures are spreading across the Engine's ancient systems, threatening catastrophe on a global scale.
Silas Vane never wanted to become a hero.
A grizzled drifter with a mechanical arm and a talent for surviving impossible situations, Silas prefers simple jobs and clear exits. But when he rescues brilliant alchemist Dr. Clara Whitacre from assassins, he becomes entangled in a race to recover a series of legendary Primordial Gears, artifacts said to be woven into the very structure of reality.
Together they travel across toxic wastelands, forgotten industrial ruins, hidden libraries, and deadly fortresses while pursued by ruthless agents, mechanical monstrosities, and enemies who would rather see the world burn than surrender power.
As the Great Engine's death throes shake civilization, Silas and Clara uncover secrets buried beneath centuries of deception. The truth threatens not only the future of humanity but everything they believe about their world.
Packed with airships, alchemy, mechanical wonders, ancient mysteries, relentless action, and a slow-burning romance, Clockwork and Clouds is an epic steampunk adventure where every choice carries a cost and every victory comes with sacrifice.
The gears are missing.
The clock is running.
And the world is running out of time.
