Clockwork Reaper, Book 1 of the Regna Secundus Insurrection

by Daniel Hellmund

Disaster befalls young Niamhime Geist as a bomb destroys her father's mansion. Overcome by the flames, young Nia believes she is dead only to awaken in horror with arms and legs crafted from a metal rather than flesh. She learns that it was her scientist father who dragged her from the flames to create the artificial limbs, but instead of joy she is sickened by the thought of being an experiment. As Nia tries to escape she discovers that she can manipulate the limbs with her thoughts alone. Fleeing from her father to find a haven away from a society that would judge her a monster, she wanders the nation alone; or so she believes. As corpses pile up in the empire of Sorcière, the wealthy and the destitute share the same tale of a creature of chaos known as the Clockwork Reaper. Only Nia can confront the nightmare that stalks her and the rest of the souls in Regna Secundus. A bitter harvest is at hand in the first book of the Regna Secundus Insurrection series.

This book is dark and deceiving. It kept me interested from the beginning to the very end. I can’t wait to start the second book in the trilogy. I highly recommend.
