A rogue god awakens. The city trembles. Only young William dares to chase the truth, teaming up with a quirky gadgeteer and a clock-whispering sorceress. Pranks turn deadly and orcs march in as a reality-warping thirteenth tick looms on the horizon.
With a hearty dose of Terry Pratchett's wit and a sprinkling of satirical steampunk sting, this hilarious epic rolls forward with gutter-dwelling guts and gears, weaving steampunkish fantasy with funny, inventive flair. The playful narrative hides deeper questions: What's our purpose in this life? Is the sky really blue? Should you really read every gadget's manual? And why oh why do I linger on this blurb when adventure awaits?
Originally published as Frosted Cogs of Fall (Book I) and Winter's Fold (Book II), The Gutterhaven Gambit unites both in one thrilling volume of unlikely heroes, mechanical-magic adventures, and biting societal satire.
