Onyx’s life revolves entirely around the Clockwork Lands: a world made of five colossal clock gears that power eternal time. As the assistant to her father, the immortal Timekeeper, her days are measured by precise schedules and the rhythmic ticking of her heart gears.
However, years filled with predictability take a swift turn when an unexpected arrival offers her the opportunity to explore beyond her sheltered life for the first time.
Stepping foot onto the bronze streets of Pendulum City and beyond, Onyx learns of secrets and ideologies she has never heard of, beginning a journey that makes her question the reality she always thought she knew.

This is an ingeniously creative novel, as cleverly constructed as the gears and cogs of Clockwork Lands. The lead is a delight—curious, clever, and resourceful—and inhabits a well-imagined world.- Kirkus Reviews
