In the Clockwork Marshes, the roads move when they're offended, villages fall asleep for twenty years, and the moon sometimes vanishes beneath the water.
Agnes Wren travels the marshes in a creaking bakery wagon pulled by the stubborn tortoise Gladys, selling bread, oatcakes, and hard-earned wisdom to the strange settlements hidden among the reeds. Beside her walks Felix Dindle - an overly talkative bard with more enthusiasm than sense - while a silent silver moonhare watches from the shadows.
But something ancient is waking beneath the marsh.
The hidden engines that keep the wetlands alive are faltering. Forgotten bargains are returning. Voices whisper from black water. Mechanical saints bleed rust and memory. Children vanish beneath moonlit reeds. And somewhere deep below the marshes, a vast machine is beginning to remember too much.
As Agnes and Felix journey through twelve whimsical, dangerous, and darkly funny tales, they will uncover the secret heart of the Clockwork Marshes - and learn that some things are kept alive not by magic alone, but by kindness, memory, grief... and the stubborn refusal to let the world grow cold.
The Clockwork Marshes is a warm, witty fantasy filled with eccentric villages, strange folklore, living machinery, and unforgettable characters. Perfect for readers who love whimsical fantasy with heart, humour, and a touch of melancholy.
