Overview:
Two action-packed adventures in one beautifully packaged duology, Clocktaur War collects The Clocktaur War Duology - Clockwork Boys and The Clocktaur War Duology - The Wonder Engine by T Kingfisher into a complete reading journey. Follow Slate, a capable if prickly heroine, as she teams up with a formerly demon-possessed paladin named Caliban, her murderous ex-lover, and an irritating, sexist scholar on a perilous mission. Their quest? To learn the truth behind the Clockwork Boys, terrifying mechanical soldiers marching from a neighboring kingdom and terrorizing their lands. The duo journeys through enemy territory toward Anuket City, where marvels of clockwork and invention collide with ancient rivalries and hidden loyalties. Throughout, Slate must confront her own past and the weight of returning home, all while navigating a tense, divided group of misfit allies. With brisk plotting, sharp dialogue, and a deft blend of fantasy, adventure, and sly humour, this duology delivers high-stakes pacing, imaginative world-building, and a reading experience you’ll want to binge from start to finish.

What Makes This Collection Special:
This complete two-book collection brings together a duo that blends brisk urban-fantasy action with exquisitely oddball world-building. The Clockwork Boys are not just threats to be defeated—they’re a lens on a broader world where invention, magic, and politics collide. Slate’s voice is sharply witty, morally complex, and relentlessly curious, pulling readers through checkpoints of danger, decision, and loyalty. Completing the set in one volume offers a seamless reading arc: you’ll witness the transformation of a layered heroine, the shifting dynamics of a ragtag crew, and the unspooling mystery behind the Clockwork Boys. It’s a gift for fans of once-in-a-lifetime quests, clever banter, and richly imagined futures where technology and tradition rub shoulders with danger.

The Clocktaur War Duology - Clockwork Boys
Slate, a determined and resourceful protagonist, embarks on a mission alongside a formerly demon-possessed paladin named Caliban, her murderous ex-lover, and a scholar whose skepticism cuts like a blade.

The stakes are high, the journey long, and the enemy formidable. This opening chapter sets a brisk, adventurous tone with world-building that feels both inventive and lived-in, balancing peril with funny, human moments that deepen reader attachment to Slate and her crew.

Slate’s crew arrives in Anuket City, the bustling hub of artificial marvels where Clockwork Boys are created. Yet the deeper secret of their existence remains shrouded in mystery. Slate’s history in Anuket City resurfaces, threatening old wounds and testing loyalties. Amid shifting alliances and dangerous discoveries, her growing attraction to Caliban adds a charged, personal layer to the mission.
