He wanted to be a saint, but history made him something else. Armand Richelieu was a faithful squire of the Church, destined to rise through the holy ranks of the Hildebrand Knights. But in a world where divine Words of God can turn the tide of battle, where clockwork men march under banners of empire, and where kings make war with airship and heresies, ideals rarely survive. Across two decades of brutal conflict, shifting allegiances, and personal betrayals, Armand is forged into something far more terrifying than a saint: a weapon. From slave armies to dreadnought airships, from forbidden love to political assassination, his path winds ever closer to the heart of a collapsing world - and the choice that ill either redeem it or burn it down. Clockwork Empires is an epic clockpunk fantasy of war, faith, revolution, and the corruption of power - told through the eyes of a man who was supposed to save the Empire, but may be the one who destroys it.
