The Clocksmith's War: Book Two

Time has fractured. The past is no longer safe. And the war for history has only just begun.

After the cataclysmic sabotage that rewrote the timeline at the end of Book One, rogue clocksmith Ellory Holt finds himself in a world he no longer recognizes. Time engines hum beneath restructured cities, warlords wear the faces of long-dead kings, and ancient alliances have unraveled into chaos. Yet the worst is yet to come.

The fractured chronoscape has opened fissures across realities—some pulling echoes of people who never should have existed. As the Temporum Imperium tightens its grip and hunts down those resisting their control over time itself, Ellory must rebuild a fractured resistance, even as his own memories begin to warp. With every step he takes, history tries to fold in on itself—and he begins to question whether he's still the man who started this war.

But time does not wait. Haunted by a mysterious girl who seems to live between moments, pursued by a relentless time-wraith with Ellory's own voice, and burdened by the cost of each historical rupture, Ellory must journey into the heart of the first Engine—where time was bound and broken.

As reality bends and rebellion ignites across centuries, The Clocksmith's War: Book Two escalates the saga into a sweeping, high-stakes battle for the soul of history itself. Steeped in steampunk aesthetics, mechanical intrigue, and philosophical tension, this second volume expands the mythos, sharpens the danger, and sets the clock ticking toward an irreversible end.

If time is a weapon, what happens when it turns on its wielder?
