A note for parents
The Clockwork Dynasty is a science fiction thriller with action sequences and historical intrigue that appeals to older teens. While the violence is present but not graphic, the complex narrative spanning centuries, philosophical themes about consciousness and meaning, and mature emotional stakes make it better suited for readers aged 14 and up. The book explores war and conflict but focuses more on character motivation and moral choice than graphic depiction.

Peter and Elena are a brother and sister possessed with uncanny power and destined to fight an ancient war. When June Stefanov, a young anthropologist specializing in ancient technology, uncovers a terrible secret concealed in the workings of a three-hundred-year-old mechanical doll, she finds herself in the middle of the hidden war that has raged for centuries. As June plunges deeper into their world, her choices will ultimately determine their fate.

Richly-imagined and heart-pounding, Daniel H. Wilson’s novel combines exquisitely drawn characters with visionary technology—and riveting action.
