When the oil and gas ran out, civilisation collapsed. Now, centuries later, mankind is once again beginning to discover the secrets of the past ... starting with clockwork.

In a future Denmark, the King’s clockmaker becomes enmeshed in a web of court intrigue and undertakes a fateful journey to the Far North, where he encounters many strange phenomena that challenge his rational nature.

Kingdom of Clockwork is a science fiction/steampunk novel by Billy O’Shea. The story takes place in a quasi-medieval society that arises in Scandinavia after the new Dark Ages. Lacking fossil fuels and knowledge of past technology, the new kingdoms of the northern lands can only draw upon the power of the wind, which they store using clockwork. But the King of Kantarborg has a plan to mine other secrets of the past, and weaves a young court clockmaker into his dangerous schemes.

Kingdom of Clockwork has been described as “alternate history, historical fantasy and steampunk”. It is a quirky, intriguing, slightly whimsical tale of reason, magic and human cunning. The story combines real Scandinavian history and locations with flights of fancy, both literal and metaphorical.

Vol. 1 in the Kantarborg Chronicles series

Great atmosphere and world building. A bit slow in the middle which prevents it from getting all the 5 stars, but it is very close!Will jump onto the next one right away

Jeg var flere gange ved at opgive, den er noget langtrukken de første par timer 😮‍💨Men lige pludselig ud af ingen ting, blev den interessant og der skete en masse 😃Hvis du ikke kan lide stemnings musik og lyde, er denne bog ikke noget dig, for det er der igennem hele bogen.
