About this book:

**In the smog-choked city of Gearhaven, the gears are failing…**

Deep within the Clockwork Library, apprentice librarian Elira Thornwick has always known the books are alive—whispering, ticking, rustling with secrets only she can hear. But when a forbidden tome hidden in the restricted archives speaks a single, devastating line of prophecy—*When the heart of gears ceases to beat, the city shall fall to silence*—she realizes the library's warnings are not just stories. They are a countdown.

As Gearhaven's ancient Engineheart begins to fail, plunging the city toward a frozen doom, Elira must venture beyond the shelves she has always known—into forgotten forges, hidden tunnels, and a conspiracy older than the perpetual engines themselves. With only her wit, her untested bond with the tomes, and a handful of unlikely allies, she races to unlock the secrets of the Timewrights before the last gear stops turning.

A sweeping tale of steam, sorcery, and ticking clocks, *Chronicles of the Clockwork Library* will pull you into a world where books are alive, time is unraveling, and one young librarian may hold the key to everything. If you love the cinematic wonder of steampunk adventure, the magic of libraries that breathe, and heroines who discover their destiny one whisper at a time, this is your next obsession.
