Adventure, Mayhem, and Magic—One Cog at a Time! In the bustling, enchanted streets of Clockwork Hollow, eccentric inventor and sorceress Verity is no stranger to chaos. But when she and her misfit companions stumble upon an ancient recipe promising unimaginable power, or the perfect double chocolate chip cookie, they’re thrust into a whirlwind quest to stop the villainous Lord Malakar from seizing control. From dodging pirate fleets to battling enchanted guardians, the group faces impossible odds, outrageous mayhem, and more than a few sticky situations (literally, thanks to Gadget, the sarcastic clockwork cat). Along the way, they’ll discover that even the darkest magic can be rewritten, and that friendship, ingenuity, and a dash of crumpets might just save the world. Packed with humor, heart, and high-stakes adventure, The Clockwork Sorceress is a delightful tale of unlikely heroes, magical mishaps, and the deliciously unexpected twists that come with rewriting destiny, one cookie at a time.
