The Tinkerer's Gambit - Book 1 of "The Clockwork Odissey" Saga by JonStall

In the bustling, steam-powered city of Brasshaven, where towering spires and clockwork machines define the skyline, twenty-one-year-old Cheyenne Ardelle spends her days tinkering with gears and gadgets in her late father's workshop. Life is predictable-until she stumbles upon a mysterious artifact hidden in her father's belongings. The relic, known as the Aether Key, is said to hold the power to manipulate time itself, and it's the key to a dangerous secret her father died protecting. Pursued by the ruthless Obsidian Guild, led by the enigmatic and calculating Lady Eryndra Voss, Cheyenne must flee her quiet life and embark on a daring journey to uncover the truth about the Aether Key. Along the way, she teams up with Felix Cain, a rogue airship pilot with a sharp wit, a knack for getting into trouble, and a past as mysterious as the skies he calls home. Together, they navigate a world of perilous skies, underground labyrinths, and forgotten ruins as they piece together the puzzle of the Aether Key. But time is not their ally. The artifact's power is unstable, and its secrets could either save their world or destroy it completely. As Cheyenne discovers the truth about her father's legacy, she must decide whether she's willing to risk everything to stop the Guild-and whether she can trust Felix with more than just her life. The Tinkerer's Gambit is a thrilling steampunk adventure filled with danger, mystery, and a touch of romance. Perfect for fans of bold heroines, daring heists, and the ticking allure of clockwork secrets, this is a story where every gear matters, every second counts, and every choice could change the future.

Crimson Gears by LizzieBee94

When my home was consumed by the Rot, a deadly infection that left me orphaned and adrift in a world consumed by despair, I sought out a new beginning. Haunted by the ghosts of my past, I fled to a place that was said to be a safe haven, Zenith. That was where I first encountered Caspian, a man obsessed with 'collecting' those who he performs terrifying experiments on, trying to build an army of literal man-made automatons to take over the whole continent of Cogovia. Our first interaction caused a power within me I never knew I possessed to be unleashed, a cataclysmic force that both terrified and intrigued me. This newfound power drew the attention of Jasper Thorne, a reclusive inventor who resides in the hidden enclave of Aethelhum. Drawn into Jasper's enigmatic world of clockwork creations and forbidden secrets, I found myself trapped in a conflict I never imagined. Our initial encounters were marked by bitter clashes - his arrogance clashing with my defiance. Yet, as the shadow of Caspian's ambition loomed larger, we found ourselves an unlikely alliance. Together, we must learn to harness my burgeoning power and confront the psychopath who threatens to engulf Aethelhum and me in shadows. But in the face of impending doom, I realize that I must be the one to not only protect my new home and the enigmatic man who has become both my enemy and the man I was slowly falling in love with, but I also needed to protect the fragile hope of our future that has begun to bloom within my own shattered heart. As they say, having power comes with a cost, and that cost just might be my very life.

Science, Eternal Life, and a Traveling Circus |1| by AloofFloof

Even the most uneducated can have a mind for adventure - especially when it comes to saving the world. A man with a tie is discovered outside the limits of a dried-up settlement in the middle of nowhere, bearing a plague that was long thought to be contained behind the walls of Ban-Ken. When Master Drew Hughes discovers that the man intends to spread the disease beyond the great city, it is up to the private alcoholic and a loud-mouthed orphan, Alyn Smythy, to brave the city's walls and put a stop to the man-made plague before its power falls into the wrong hands. Book one of two. [BOUND FOR EXTENSIVE REWRITES IN NOVEMBER!] If you are triggered by suicide mentions, probably about three suggestions of it crop up total in this book.

The Clockwork Heir by richardjunz

In the heart of a bustling steampunk city, 18-year-old Liora is an orphan working as a clockmaker's apprentice. Her life is ordinary, if not a little dull, until the day an enigmatic customer brings in a peculiar device: a clockwork box engraved with glowing symbols. "Fix this," the customer whispers, "and you'll uncover your destiny." Liora's curiosity outweighs her caution. She spends nights studying the box, discovering that it's not a clock-it's a map. When activated, it projects a shimmering route leading to the fabled "Vault of Aeons," a legendary artifact said to grant its possessor mastery over time itself. Before Liora can make sense of her discovery, she's attacked by a group of shadowy figures, revealing that others seek the box. Fleeing for her life, she's rescued by a roguish skyship captain named Cyrus, who offers her safe passage-if she splits the treasure with him. Reluctantly, Liora agrees, and they set off on an adventure filled with treacherous airship battles, hidden traps, and ancient riddles. As they journey, Liora uncovers secrets about her past. Her parents were not mere clockmakers but key members of an ancient order tasked with guarding the Vault. Her connection to the artifact is stronger than she ever imagined, and unlocking it might not just reshape her future-but rewrite the fabric of time itself. But the closer they get to the Vault, the more dangerous their path becomes. Rival treasure hunters, a crumbling alliance with Cyrus, and the revelation of the artifact's dark cost force Liora to make an impossible choice: seize the power to change the past or protect the present.
