In this brilliant sequel to Clockwork Boys, old foes resurface, and Slate and Caliban are forced to deal with the echoes of their past choices. From New York Times bestselling, Nebula and Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher.

Slate and her crew have arrived in Anuket City, the city of artificial marvels where Clockwork Boys are created. But the secret of their existence is as mysterious as ever. Slate has a history in Anuket City, a history which just wonโ€™t leave her alone. Her increasing attraction to Caliban is driving her up the wall, yet Caliban is, of course, too noble to do anything about it.

As Slate's history in the city grows more entangled with their mission, the group's chances of survival seem to be getting ever slimmer. If they're to stand a chance of destroying the Clockwork Boys, Slate must confront her past and find a way to stop it from killing them all.

About the Author

T. Kingfisher is the vaguely absurd pen name author Ursula Vernon uses when writing for adults. In another life, she writes children's books and weird comics. As Kingfisher, she has won the Hugo, Nebula, Locus and Dragon Awards, including the Hugo for Best Novel for her book Nettle & Bone. When she is not writing, she is probably out in the garden, trying to make eye contact with butterflies.
