In a city ruled by a failing Great Clock, a disgraced engineer and a daring navigator meet on a bridge high above the machine's dying heart. One holds a stolen chronometer that could save-or end-the empire's fragile time. Together they race through steam-filled underworks, swinging pendulums, and crumbling airship skies, forced into an uneasy alliance as the city's timekeeping begins to fracture. Amidst gears the size of houses and the quiet weight of every stolen second, two people who have lost everything to the Clock must decide what the future is worth.

Isolate

No one ever wanted Riley Knight: not her father, who made sure she didn't have any part in his or his families life; not her mother, who resented her for virtually everything; nor her step father, who has hated her since before she was born. Not even her own big brothers -- the ones who are suppose to love and protect her no matter what -- wanted her. Or so she thought. Riley is the product of an affair -- well her and her twin brother, Rome, are -- but she never had two parents. See, her father has always had "something against" the female sex and therefore, it is weak in his eyes to have a daughter. So he kept Rome and sent Riley away from the second the twins were born. He is the one responsible for turning his six sons against his youngest child and only daughter and, therefore, chaining her to a life of abuse and neglect. But did he succeed? Following her fathers death 7 years ago, Riley's brothers have taken a bigger interest in her and her quality of life, ensuring it was up to par. But all is still not perfect among the Knight siblings. Will Riley finally find her solace among her big brothers? Will they find out about the horrors she faces on a day-to-day basis? Can this family ever become one again ... or do the scars run too deep?
