Twisted Cogs
It is the turn of the 16th Century, and the world has entered a golden age of art, invention, and architecture. This renaissance of literature and learning in Europa is suddenly thrown into overdrive when a chosen few “Stormtouched” begin displaying supernatural abilities. Torn between the age’s burgeoning love of science and the dark promises of magic, Europa has become a powder-keg of clockwork and sorcery.
Elena Lucciano doesn't care about increasing mankind’s knowledge or exploring the mysterious workings of magic. Even though she herself is Stormtouched, Elena doesn't have high ambitions. All she wants is for her mother to be proud of her, for her teacher to accept her, and to become one of the best artists in all of Italoza, content to ignore all thoughts of science and magic.
Unfortunately for Elena, the tides of invention and magic are sometimes not content to ignore those who ignore them…

A wonderful tale of magic and invention, told in an altered history of earth. Set in renaissance Europe (called Europa) it follows Elena, a stormtouched, which is this world's magic. The whole story is filled with small personal moments that enrich and make this book stand out from the more traditional fantasy that abounds.
Well worth you time.
