The Clockwork Goddess: The God Who Lived, Volume 2

by K. Scott Lewis

The Dwellers, creatures of Chaos in the hidden depths of the universe, awaken hungry to devour life. They float between the stars towards the planet of Ahmbren.Three women pursue disparate paths to salvation. The lich Seredith seeks to unite the four elements into unified Order to shield the world from the Dwellers. She will save the planet, even if the living who stand in her way must die. The spirit of Athra, once the Goddess of Civilization, haunts a clockwork body. A thin echo of her former self, all she contemplates is industry, yearning to forge mortalkind into a perfect machine of Order the Dwellers will pass by. The elf Meara, thought to be the incarnation of the Consoler God, works miracles beyond even magical explanation, and her friends and family start to wonder if her divine spirit is a sliver of Chaos, luring the Dwellers towards their planet.Meanwhile, Naiadne, the paladin of Light and Dark, learns the world-soul of Ahmbren itself holds the secret of salvation. To discover this hidden hope, she journeys to the fabled Garden in the very center of the world, from whence all life emerged.

About the author

K. Scott Lewis was born in California to Navy parents, and then moved all over the place such that when asked as an adult, "Where are you from?", he shrugs and says, "the U.S." He graduated from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology with a B.S. in Computer Science and then entered the Air Force to do somewhat computer-sciencey types of things and continue the habit of moving every few years. His personal interests took him into comparative religion, philosophy, and world mythology when he wasn't reading science-fiction or fantasy for entertainment. Tolkien's appendices and maps inspired him to world-craft as a hobby, which later grew into writing as a past-time while deployed. When he's not writing, he's composing music on piano and electric guitar, which he sees as another means of evoking stories.
