Of Constellations and Clockwork (The Stelnove Saga)

A city-state crumbles into ruins. Ancient values are erased. For clockmaker Clemenza Giudice, once a noble, restoring her family's standing is all that matters—even if it costs her soul. A determined young woman, her ambition could lead to salvation or ruin. Her chance? A daring plan to steal illicit technology for the very man who ruined them. But this isn't just a simple theft; it's a desperate gamble in a labyrinthine game of political maneuvering that could shatter her world and reveal deep-seated betrayals. As Clemenza embarks on a perilous journey into a corrupt capital, she's joined by a rival clockmaker, an ostentatious smuggler, a pleasure house slave, a clever thief, and a mysterious architect. Controlling this disparate crew proves much harder than controlling clocks in this intricate Italian Renaissance-inspired world, where advanced clockwork artistry defines society, yet also poses grave dangers. Amidst the power struggles and impossible choices, Clemenza must confront the darkness within. To protect her family, she may have to become like the man she despises, wrestling with her convictions in a world teetering on the edge of its faith. Will she save her city, or succumb to its shadows? Perfect for readers who enjoy high-stakes fantasy novels that blend intricate world-building with profound moral questions, akin to A Golden Fury by Samantha Cohoe or Secrets in the Mist by Morgan L. Busse. Discover Of Constellations and Clockwork, where a daring heist sets off a chain of events that could change everything. Part One of The Stelnove Saga.
