A Girl Made of Gears

Legends of the Dark Star, Book 2

De: T.W.M. Ashford

Narrado por: T.W.M. Ashford

Talia doesn’t need guts. She’s made of tougher stuff.

Copper, to be precise. Because this girl wasn’t born, but built – assembled from scrap and salvage to dazzle audiences in Doctor Tesibius’ Court of Curiosities.

What Talia wasn’t designed to do, however, was think for herself. She’s supposed to be a mindless automaton who does what she’s told, not a girl who dreams of sailing to the stars. Only Hero, a meek carnival worker in a moth-eaten sackcloth tunic, sees through her metal chassis to the soul within.

Fleeing her creator, Talia drags Hero across a war torn landscape in search of a world where nobody has to work – or jump through flaming hoops, at the very least. But old hunters stalk the blackened fields, Tesibius is on their tail, and greedy industrialists would like nothing more than to rip her apart and find what makes her tick.

Talia’s very existence changes everything. But a girl made of gears is hot property, freedom comes at a price, and the clock(work) is counting down...

Unwind with A GIRL MADE OF GEARS – a standalone novel inspired by Pinocchio set in a grim steampunk world that masterfully combines the wonder of Science Fiction with the macabre tone of Dark Fantasy.
