The Clocktaur War Duology - Clockwork Boys

In the first book of this touching and darkly comic duology from New York Times bestselling, Nebula and Hugo Award-winning author T. Kingfisher, a paladin, a forger, an assassin and a scholar ride out of town on an espionage mission with deadly serious stakes.

T. Kingfisher is the vaguely absurd pen name author Ursula Vernon uses when writing for adults. In another life, she writes children's books and weird comics. As Kingfisher, she has won the Hugo, Nebula, Locus and Dragon Awards, including the Hugo for Best Novel for her book Nettle & Bone. When she is not writing, she is probably out in the garden, trying to make eye contact with butterflies.
