Blithe Li is a wellspring-a vessel containing magic that can only be used by a magi. The only problem is, women aren't supposed to be wellsprings. In a world where powerful female magic workers rule, and vulnerable male wellsprings must follow the rigid social norms meant to keep their magic pure from corruption, Blythe doesn't fit in anywhere. She can't actually use magic, the way a woman should. Wellsprings can't own property and have very little in the way of basic rights. And Blythe has no hope of making a fortuitous match and becoming a magi's favored lover and pet, the way a male wellspr...
Blithe Li is a wellspring-a vessel containing magic that can only be used by a magi. The only problem is, women aren't supposed to be wellsprings. In a world where powerful female magic workers rule, and vulnerable male wellsprings must follow the rigid social norms meant to keep their magic pure from corruption, Blythe doesn't fit in anywhere. She can't actually use magic, the way a woman should. Wellsprings can't own property and have very little in the way of basic rights. And Blythe has no hope of making a fortuitous match and becoming a magi's favored lover and pet, the way a male wellspring would. Instead, she's an embarrassment and burden to her parents, who already have a house full of normal boy wellsprings to marry off. Blythe's world is turned upside down when a commission for a clockwork dragon ends with a proposal she never could have imagined-and leaves her bonded to the future queen of the Imperial American States. But this is no Cinderella story.
Blythe's future wife, Raina, is engaged in a quiet, deadly battle of politics and power with the current regent as she approaches her coming of age and her ascension to the throne. Blythe soon finds herself fighting alongside Raina for every freedom she's ever dared dream of, as they try to completely remake a kingdom. But will Raina's efforts to gather the support of a misfit court with the magic of only a pair of newly bonded wellsprings be enough to save them all from accusations of treason, murder, and all-out war?
Clockwork Dragon is an "outside the box" romance of monarchy and mayhem. It is set against a rich steampunk regency backdrop in an alternate world where magic has influenced the development of technologies and nations, and where Regency and Victorian era gender norms are reversed. It features a clockwork dragon guard dog, an irreverent and intimidating future queen, a metal-worker-turned-consort, and a poly relationship with a vessel of fire and air. Oh, and airships...plenty of airships. This story includes diverse characters and LGBTQIA elements, including lesbian, bisexual, and poly romance, as well as reversed and fluid gender norms.
Author's Note:
This isn't your usual reverse harem. It isn't your usual steampunk book. And these aren't your usual victorian/regency gender norms....
*99,000 words without any extra "fluff" at the end.
*This book is not a serious historical book. It is a fantasy and liberties have been taken!
*The initial/main romance in this book is F/F, however it later develops into a poly relationship with M/F, F/F, M/M, and M/F/F scenes.
*There may be mentions of trauma, though this isn't explicit on the page stuff.
*There is some mild-moderate violence.
*No, I can't send you your own Sparrow. Sorry.
*This book is intended to be a stand-alone story. Whether there are any more books in this world will depend entirely upon demand and the graces of the writer muse.
