The Steam Clock Legacy

In a world where fleets of airships roam the skies and great towers of scientific learning pierce the clouds, no one's heard of the misfit McEwan sisters. One collects admirers, dispenses bad advice. The other's a bit of a tomboy. They might not have much experience with love or espionage, but they're about to shake the empire to its roots, and one way or another, everything is about to change.

On Christmas Eve, an old fugitive soldier with a clockwork leg saves the life of a troubled young schoolboy. They strike up an unexpected friendship. But when danger descends on the Steam Emporium, they must enlist the help of unlikely protectors--a ragtag group of wounded veterans--and find their own extraordinary courage. A night of miracles is about to begin. A Steam Clock Legacy novella.

The age of steam meets the time of the dinosaurs in this rip-roaring short story set in the aftermath of events depicted in the award-nominated Prehistoric Clock. With everything she owns packed onto her steam-powered penny farthing, nineteen-year-old Beth Rawtenstall must do battle with a giant predator from another age if she wants to save the life of the boy she loves.
