Clockwork Twist opens with Waking, where the title character — a young London clockmaker — discovers that his talent for fixing machines goes deeper than ordinary skill. This discovery pulls him out of his workshop and into a steampunk world of airships and adventure. The series runs fourteen books from 2013 to 2020, following Twist through escalating challenges that test both his mechanical abilities and his character.
Emily Thompson builds the world gradually, introducing new locations, factions, and technologies with each installment. The clockwork setting provides both the aesthetic and the plot mechanics — machines break, need fixing, and sometimes do things their creators never intended. By the time readers reach Closure, Twist has traveled far from where he started in every sense.
