Lower Rhumbsford is a city far removed from its glory days. On the
banks of the great River Rhumb, its founding fathers channelled the
river's mighty flow into a subterranean labyrinth of pipes, valves
and sluices, a feat of hydraulic prowess that would come to power
an empire. But a thousand years have passed since then, and
something is wrong: the pipes are leaking, the valves stuck, the
sluices silted, and the once-torrential Rhumb has been reduced to a
sluggish trickle. The fortunes of the Locke family, descendants of
the city's most celebrated engineer, are similarly reduced. In a
once-fashionable quarter of the once-great city, siblings Samuel
and Briony Locke are about to be drawn into a web of ancestral
secrets and imperial intrigues, as a ruthless new power arises...

apply to fantasy novels, but A Clockwork River rushes along at a
pace to match the waterway at its heart' SFX 'Delightfully weird
and clever' Grimdark Magazine 'Oh, just plunge into this
"hydro-punk" fantasy novel, will you' The Times
