Time is not a line. It is a mechanism-wound by memory, fractured by choice.
Clara Everhart has received another impossible letter-one written in her own hand, from a future she hasn't lived. It leads her to Vienna in 1873, where the glittering promise of the World Exhibition conceals a fracture in time itself. A man with a mechanical bird is waiting. So is a machine that could unmake history.
In the heart of a city alive with invention, Clara uncovers a hidden war between those who would preserve the Pattern, the mysterious thread binding time, and those who would sever it for good. As echoes of alternate selves surface and forgotten inventions stir to life, she must navigate shifting alliances, unravel Leonardo da Vinci's last secrets, and decide who she can trust in a timeline already rewriting itself around her.
But some choices were never meant to be made twice.
Perfect for fans of historical fiction with a speculative twist, steampunk mystery, and women-led adventures through tangled timelines.
If you enjoyed The Missing Manuscript, The Clockwork Heir will pull you deeper into the Pattern.
