The Clockwork Chronicles

About the Series

The series combines Tricia Goyer's well-researched historical fiction, well-plotted inner spiritual journeys, and romance with Nathan Goyer's fantastical imagination of an alternate steampunk universe — golems, relics, and a world where the ancient and the mechanical collide.

The result is something genuinely original: a WWII thriller where golems stir in the shadows, mystical relics alter the course of history, and a small band of unlikely heroes must stand between the forces of darkness and the destruction of everything that matters. For readers who love WWII fiction, Christian speculative fantasy, or simply stories where courage and faith are tested to their absolute limits, the Clockwork Chronicles offers a world unlike any other.

Book 1: Breath of Bones

Kateřina Dubová has always aspired to walk in her father's footsteps as a respected journalist, and the Second World War presents a unique opportunity for her to prove her worth to the world. A tip about an assassination attempt on a high-ranking Nazi official, Reinhard Heydrich, the "Butcher of Prague" leads Kateřina into the shadows of the Nazi occupation. Soon she discovers things are not as they seem.

As intrigue unfurls, Kateřina joins forces with Josef Loew, a descendant of the famous Rabbi Loew, renowned for creating a mystical guardian in the form of a golem to protect the souls of 16th-century Jews in Prague. In the chaos of war, some believe a new golem can once again bring help to those in need.

Like flickering candles in the abyss, Kateřina and Josef work to protect the innocent and end the evil that plagues their city. But the darkness that has fallen over Prague is deeper than either of them imagined — and the guardian that answers their prayers may be more dangerous than the evil it was made to fight.

Book 2: Flight of Fate

Curator Dante Ramono must remove the priceless Farnese Cup from its hidden vault in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli to protect it from Allied bombing. A swift betrayal places the cup in Nazi hands, but not before it reveals its mystical powers. To recover the cup, Dante must join forces with cunning Theodora. Can he trust her, or will he be deceived once more?

In Prague, Kateřina Dubová works to care for the Jews she's hidden. In her hour of greatest need, her trusted friend, Josef, has seemingly vanished. Danger closes in, yet an unseen protector steps in again and again. Could it be Josef, hidden in the shadows?

The clock is ticking. Is the future set in stone, or can courage and faith change history? Together, these four unlikely guardians must defy the odds to stop the Germans' dark ambitions or risk their very souls.

Book 3: Twist of Time

In 1945, war rages across Europe, but deep beneath Prague, another kind of battle is unfolding. It's a fight not just for land or power but for the very soul of humanity. Kateřina Dubová, a brave journalist turned spy, receives a mysterious gift from a high-ranking Nazi officer — a jewel tied to a terrifying prophecy. Clues draw her deep into ancient secrets hidden within Prague Castle and a clock that may hold the power to save the world . . . or bring about its destruction.

Kateřina joins forces with Josef Loew, a gifted inventor; Theodora, a daring mafia spy gone rogue; and Dante, a historian with a powerful artifact of his own. Together, they unravel a chilling plot rooted in mysteries that whisper from beyond the veil.

But the deeper they go, the more dangerous their path becomes. Otherworldly forces are seeping in, and time is running out.

"I was enthralled by the expertly paced plot and the incredible humanity the authors portrayed in their unforgettable characters — the fears and beliefs that guided their actions.

Tricia Goyer's trademark themes of faith are woven seamlessly through the story. The authors make a wonderful team." — Goodreads reviewer on Breath of Bones
