Description

A Clockwork River by J. S. Emery is set in Lower Rhumbsford, a city whose hydraulic prowess once powered an empire. Now, a thousand years later, the city's pipes are leaking, valves stuck, and the river has slowed to a trickle. The fortunes of the Locke family, descendants of the city's most celebrated engineer, have also stagnated. As the siblings Samuel and Briony Locke navigate their declining circumstances, they become embroiled in a web of ancestral secrets and imperial intrigues. A ruthless new power is emerging, threatening the fragile balance of the city's ancient systems. This hydro-punk fantasy novel combines elements of historical fiction and urban fantasy to create an immersive world that is both weird and clever.
