A Clockwork Fantasy Adventure
By Edward M. Morrison
**THE HEART OF A CITY.
THE POWER OF AN EMPIRE.
THE CHOICE THAT COULD BREAK THEM BOTH.**
In the towering metal city of Edenvale-where time is measured in pulses and entire neighbourhoods breathe in mechanical rhythm-every life beats to the will of the great Hearts. These colossal engines, buried deep beneath the city's foundation, bind all citizens into a single synchronised pattern. No one questions the Hearts. No one defies them. No one survives fighting against them.
Until Liora Wynn does.
When the rhythm of the Grid falters for the first time in centuries, twenty-year-old Liora finds herself caught in a fate she did not choose: the awakening of the dormant unbroken line-a lineage of conduits whose bodies were engineered generations ago to power the Hearts themselves. To most of Edenvale, the line is nothing more than a forgotten myth. To the Bureau, it is a secret weapon.
To Liora?
It is a sentence to slavery.
Her awakening should have bound her to the First Heart forever. Instead, she tears free of its hold-because in that moment, someone protects her who should not care at all: Cassian Vale, the rebellious son of the Bureau's most ruthless director. Cassian pulls Liora away from the Grid's collapsing rhythm and into the forbidden lower rings, where the truth shimmers beneath shadows, gears and memory-steeped machines.
Liora does not know why he saves her. She only knows that he looks at her not with fear, but recognition. As if he sees a person- not a conduit.
And that is dangerous. For both of them.
**A CITY BUILT ON SECRETS.
A GIRL WHO SHATTERS THEM.**
Edenvale is vast, gleaming, and suffocating. Its layered platforms rise like steel petals, connected by bridges humming with chronal light. Mechanical vines crawl across ancient structures, pulsing with engineered heartbeat. Rows of watchers observe every movement from clockwork towers. Everything is orderly. Predictable. Controlled.
But under those layers lies something far older:
the forgotten tunnels where the first conduits were made.
the machines built before the Bureau existed.
the remnants of rebellion crushed in silence.
Liora quickly discovers the Bureau's flawless city is nothing more than a gilded cage powered by stolen lives. The conduits were not chosen-they were created, engineered to fuel the Hearts until they burned out. Her ancestor Erya Wynn was the last to rebel... and the first to die for it.
Now the Bureau wants Liora to replace her.
Cassian wants her to run.
And the First Heart?
It wants her to kneel.
