The Clockwork Guardian

When the brass-bodied gargoyle Gearheart awakens from his forge perch to follow a mysterious woman through gaslit streets he has no idea he's about to become her most unlikely ally. Elara Thornfield carries her father's dangerous blueprints through the shadowy Cog & Sprocket Bazaar pursued by enemies who will kill for the secrets she protects. With his protective shields and clockwork wit the curious metal guardian finds himself swept into an adventure that will test both steam-powered courage and the bonds of an impossible friendship. In a world of whirring gears and hidden workshops some mysteries are worth the risk—and some companions are forged from the most unexpected metal.
