Tick...Tock...Tick...Tock...

Life inside the Clock Tower was simple enough for young inventor Leo Calloway. Until an unfortunate deal led to him being kidnapped, that is. Now held captive by a vindicitive pirate crew, Leo is forced to assist them in stealing a priceless piece of technology unlike anything the world has ever seen before. He could try to run, but as he spirals deeper into a world of madness and betrayal, he begins to realize that there is more at stake than just his life.

Alexandra, otherwise known as Alice, is a daring stowaway with a deadly secret, and she holds the key to the answers Leo desperately needs. Running from a past filled with nightmares she can't let herself remember, she is quickly swept up into a life of espionage and adventure. The past doesn't always stay buried though. Some truths are best taken to the grave; otherwise, they might come back to haunt you.

The Clockwork Labyrinth of Lady Holloway ni RadwanRefaat
16 mga parte Kumpleto
Beneath Victorian London's smog-choked skies, where time bleeds and secrets fester, reclusive inventor Sir Arthur Holloway vanished in 1875. Officially a suicide, rumors whisper of a monstrous machine beneath his manor-the Black Fog, a sentient entity feeding on memories and warping time. His heir, Lady Eleanor, returns to bury his legacy, but the decaying Holloway Manor holds horrors: an encrypted journal of impossible equations, whispers of a forgotten twin sister, and a labyrinthine engine merging man and machine. As the Fog thickens, Eleanor confronts a doppelgänger with her face and her father's consciousness fused into the gears. To stop the cult Obsidian Hand from weaponizing time, she must decide: destroy her father's creation, erasing herself and her sister's ghost, or become the Fog's new host. This gothic-steampunk thriller weaves a villain of living memory, a labyrinth breathing with temporal paradoxes, and women defying erasure in a society that fears their brilliance. The Clockwork Labyrinth of Lady Holloway- Where every tick is a lie, and every soul a cog in the machine.

Eighteen-year-old Kali McAlister enters her steam-powered "dogless sled" in a race, intending to win the thousand-dollar prize and escape remote Moose Hollow forever. The problem? Fortune seekers and airship pirates are after her for the secret to flash gold, her late father's alchemical masterpiece. With her modified rifle and a pocketful of home-made smoke bombs, Kali wouldn't normally hide from a confrontation, but taking on a whole airship single-handedly is a daunting task. Unfortunately, the other racers won't assist her--they're too busy scheming ways to sabotage her unorthodox sled. When a sword-slinging stranger shows up, wanting to hire on as her protector, she's sure he has ulterior motives, but he's the only one interested in helping her. The question is...why? Flash Gold is the first in a series of steampunk novellas.

An all-new steampunk-meets-fairy-tale series of heart, legacy, and duty. Christina Creangle stared at the smoldering ruins of her life's work. When the Moufan, an ancient secret society, offered to take care of her senile father as repayment of an old debt, she agreed. The idea of isolation with both her protege and her legendary inventor father, was too compelling to question. But the winds of history are blowing fierce after the first airship battle, spreading radical ideas to the ambitious and the fearful. Can the Moufan resist the temptation to use everything in their possession to seize power? Elsewhere, in the ruins of a presidential palace, an old, mechanical horse is discovered that could tip the continent's delicate balance of power. From the world of the international best-selling series, The Yellow Hoods, comes a new series that weaves together Black Beauty, Humpty Dumpty, the Muffin Man, Santa Claus, and more. Note: This book is available (as of June 15) on Amazon, Kobo, Apple iBooks, GooglePlay Books, and Draft 2 Digital.

They broke her trust. They broke his mind. But when the past claws its way back, survival isn't enough - vengeance demands blood. Victoria learned how to stay quiet. Grief became her shadow, guilt her constant companion. It whispered in her ear that she should have been the one to die instead. Not her mother. Never her mother. If she had, maybe her father wouldn't have walked away, leaving them to fend for themselves. But silence is a fragile shield-and when the past resurfaces, dragging her into a world she barely escaped, she realizes staying quiet won't save her this time. Xavier learned how to disappear behind scars, behind rage, behind the monster his past made him. Forged by cruelty, built by betrayal, and fueled by rage, he became the kind of man other monsters feared. Scars became his armor. Violence, his language. He doesn't believe in mercy-only vengeance. Especially for the man who made him this way. Victoria was everything he had been taught to avoid - soft yet unbreakable, damaged yet defiant. She had the kind of pain that mirrored his own, a past carved into her bones, a war waged behind tired eyes. She saw through him in ways no one else had ever dared, and he hated it. Hated her. Because she made him feel. He was chaos wrapped in quiet fury, a storm threatening to consume everything in its path. And yet, when she looked at him, she didn't just see the monster - she saw the man who had once fought to hold on to his soul. But love between two broken people is never easy. It's volatile. Cruel. A constant push and pull, neither of them willing to surrender, both too damaged to truly hold on. The closer they get, the more dangerous the stakes become. Yet, for all the ways they fought against it, they kept coming back to each other.
