The Asunder Chronicles

A year of fragile peace is shattered when a brass bird arrives with a cryptic summons. Arthur Penhaligon and Eleanor Vance, the Mender and the Catalyst, are called across the sea to a London drowning in fog and a new kind of magic-a sorrow so perfect, it is overwriting the city's very soul.

Their enemy is the Clockwork King, a being of impossible logic born from a prince's grief, who seeks not to destroy the world, but to wind it into a perfect, passionless machine. As they navigate a city where their own allies have been turned into clockwork spies, they find their only hope lies with a grieving queen, herself a prisoner in her own palace. But while they hunt a magical god, a purely human monster stalks the gaslit alleys of Whitechapel, a butcher whose bloody work is a terrifying counterpoint to the King's clean, sterile apocalypse.

Fractured by secrets and haunted by the ghosts of their past, Arthur and Eleanor must confront the monsters on the throne and in the streets. But in a war against an enemy who weaponizes sorrow, they may find the most dangerous monster is the one they are forced to become.
