The Dwarf Child: One

A world where clockwork monsters walk the land, and the moon is tied to the earth by a slowly decaying chain... Ceilif – the murderer, the Healer – has been many things in her life, but she never expected to be the mother of a child as unusual as this. A child cold to the touch and with skin as hard as stone... Yet in a world plagued by the remnants of an ancient war that refuses to end, many people will find themselves becoming things they never expected. A king will become a mercenary and a slave a feared tyrant. A thief will emerge as the hope of a dying kingdom, whilst an orphan will be the first to climb the Chain to the moon in over four hundred years.... Part One of The War of Chains, Book One.
