About the Book
As China prepares to become the ultimate power in an era of
extraordinary invention and horror, Alice Michaels’ fate lies inside the walls of the forbidden kingdom…
Gavin Ennock has
everything a man could desire — except time. As the clockwork plague
consumes his body and mind, it drives him increasingly mad and fractures his relationship with his fiancée, Alice, Lady Michaels. Their only
hope is that the Dragon Men of China can cure him.
But a
power-mad general has seized the Chinese throne in a determined
offensive to conquer Asia, Britain — indeed, the entire world. He has
closed the country’s borders to all foreigners. The former ruling
dynasty, however, is scheming to return the rightful heir to power.
Their designs will draw Gavin and Alice down a treacherous path strewn
with intrigue and power struggles. One wrong step will seal Gavin’s
fate… and determine the future of the world.
