Clockwork Heart
(2008)(The first book in the Clockwork Heart trilogy series)
A novel by Dru Pagliassotti
Flight is freedom, but death hangs in the skies...
Taya soars over Ondinium on metal wings. She is an icarus, a courier privileged to travel freely across the city's sectors and mingle indiscriminately amongst its castes. But even she cannot outfly the web of terrorism, loyalty, murder, and intrigue that snares her after a daring mid-air rescue. Taya finds herself entangled with the Forlore brothers, scions of an upperclass family: handsome, brilliant Alister, who sits on Ondinium's governing council and writes programs for the Great Engine; and awkward, sharptongued Cristof, who has exiled himself from his caste and repairs clocks in the lowest sector of the city. Both hide dangerous secrets, in the city that beats to the ticking of a clockwork heart.
Books in the Trilogy:
- Clockwork Heart
- Clockwork Lies: Iron Wind
- Clockwork Secrets: Heavy Fire
