Evie Cogsworth has always dreamed of becoming an inventor, but when she earns a coveted place at the prestigious Clockwork Academy, she quickly realizes that genius alone won't be enough to survive. Within its brass-adorned halls and steam-powered laboratories, competition is fierce, secrets run deep, and not everyone welcomes a girl from the countryside into their world of innovation.
As Evie and her new friends-clever Pippa, resourceful Oliver, and brilliant Beatrice-navigate challenging lessons and invention challenges, they uncover whispers of a hidden threat: the Iron Order, a secretive faction determined to control steam technology for their own dark purposes. When a beloved professor mysteriously disappears, Evie and her friends are thrust into a dangerous mystery that could change the course of the Academy-and the entire city-forever.
With their wits, courage, and inventions put to the test, they must uncover the truth before time runs out. But as gears turn and secrets unravel, one question remains: will Evie's ingenuity be enough to stop the Iron Order before their plans come to life?
The Clockwork Academy is a thrilling steampunk adventure filled with mystery, friendship, and the limitless power of invention. Perfect for fans of The Inventor's Secret and Mortal Engines, this is a world where innovation is power, and the future is built one gear at a time.
