Synopsis
What they don't tell you is that you'll still be conscious.
Every lamp in Hollowmere is burning someone's name.
The city runs on soul-light. Sign the paper at the Hall of Records and your name lifts off you like sand through your fingers. Your family gets a pension. Your sister gets an education. You get sixty years as a frequency in a copper pipe, keeping the streetlamps violet.
The Church of the Mechanismus calls this transcendence.
Lord Callum Vane calls it what it is. He has spent seven hundred days locked in the Ravencrest Institute with a stack of papers he calls the Record — two years of ink, two years of names the city has agreed to forget. Cal can hear them. The Vane gift means the pipes do not sound like metal to him.
They sound like a choir.
Then a man in a waxed canvas coat opens his door and says he was hired to find something else, and has decided to take Cal instead.
Fenwick has no interest in martyrs. Cal has nothing but a list. Between them and the truth beneath the Sovereign’s Cradle stand a Church that has perfected the paperwork of erasure, a family that built the machine, and a clock that has not missed a second in sixty years.
One of those things is about to stop.
Book One of the Hollow Clock Saga. The story continues in The Hollow Cathedral and concludes in The Hollow City — the complete trilogy is available now.
Gaslamp fantasy with a slow-burn M/M romance at its heart, for readers of Freya Marske, C.L. Polk, and KJ Charles. Dark, but never hopeless: this saga ends with both of them still standing.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. What they don't tell you is that you'll still be conscious. Every light in Hollowmere is someone's last breath. The lights of Hollowmere never go out. The great clocktower never stops ticking. But what powers the perfect city is far more sinister than anyone dares to admit. In the steampunk metropolis of Hollowmere, progress demands sacrifice. The poor are offered a deal: sign their names, surrender their bodies to the Sovereign's Cradle, and be "transcended" into pure energy. The Church of the Mechanismus promises eternal purpose. The doctors promise it's painless. Your family receives wealth beyond imagining.What they don't tell you is that you'll still be conscious. Callum Vane was supposed to be one of them. Born into the aristocratic family that built the city's infrastructure, Cal possesses a terrible gift: he can hear the voices of the bound souls trapped in the mechanism. After two years imprisoned in Ravencrest Institute-where the Church tried to "cure" him of his dangerous ability, Cal has documented what no one else knows.Three hundred and forty-two names. Three hundred and forty-two people still aware, still suffering, powering the city's lights and trams with their stolen lives.When Fen, a cynical retrieval specialist, breaks Cal out of Ravencrest, it sets off a chain of events that will shake Hollowmere to its foundations. Hunted by the Aetheric Police and the Church's enforcers, Cal must navigate the city's shadowed districts with only his forbidden Record and a stranger whose motives remain unclear.But the deeper Cal digs into the conspiracy, the more he realizes the horror isn't just what the city has done, it's what the city is still planning to do. A dark steampunk tale of body horror, corporate theocracy, and one man's fight to give voice to the silenced, The Hollow Clock asks: How far would you go to save people the world has already forgotten? Perfect for fans of China Mieville, V.E. Schwab, and dark Victorian gothic fiction with teeth. This item is printed on demand.
