{Wattys 2019 winner - Historical Fiction} In the glittering, rococo Paris of 1728, eighteen-year-old Olivier d'Aumont has a plethora of problems he'd rather not deal with, the most troublesome of which is his straight-laced and boring-to-tears older brother getting himself arrested for murder. Olivier, convinced his brother has been framed, enlists the help of his twin sister to investigate the murder and prove their brother is innocent. But a mysterious clock magic that turns aristocrats into mind-altered puppets has been plaguing the city, and Olivier soon discovers both the sickness and the murder are part of a sinister plot to overthrow the king. Teaming up with a teenage King Louis XV and a dagger-wielding female clockmaker, Olivier must push through his debilitating anxiety and stop the mastermind behind the plot. Time is ticking, and if Olivier doesn't succeed, his brother will be hanged for a crime he didn't commit-and the entirety of Paris will be overrun by deadly magic. **re-uploading heavily revised version**

Charlotte Hampstead, a Baron's daughter, has absolutely no luck: especially in the husband hunting department. She can't play the harp, can't dance and certainly can't sing. Her only saving grace is the positively enormous dowry, but she refuses to marry any old fortune hunter whilst she's half in love with her childhood friend. Tommy Greene, Earl of Essex, is in a little bit of a pickle. He inherited a title, and all the debts with it. He's been in London for five whole years, but not one of the skittish schoolroom chits can he see as wife, and he needs an heiress desperately. Unless- there's been rumours of a priceless Shakespeare manuscript and the Essex family hidden around the Essex Estate: if he can find it, well there'd be more than enough money to pay off his Father's gambling debts and live in comfort. It's just the matter of finding it, and he not falling in love with his friend's little sister whilst doing so.
