Synopsis:
"Tregillis launches a series with this superb
alternate history filled with clockwork men and ethical questions on
the nature of free will. The Calvinist Dutch empire, with the help of
the mechanical soldiers (“Clakkers”) that are imbued with intelligence
and enslaved through magic, has been dominant since defeating the French
in the 17th century. Two centuries later, their only opponents are
small French and Papal outposts in the New World. Against this
background, French spymaster Berenice Charlotte de Mornay-Périgord,
Vicomtesse de Laval, attempts to manage her secret agents abroad. One of
those agents is Father Luuk Visser, a Catholic priest undercover as a
pastor in the Hague, who knows he’s soon going to be exposed. He uses
one of the Clakkers, Jax, to smuggle an item across the Atlantic. As
Berenice, Luuk, and Jax go on their separate journeys (only briefly
intersecting), they uncover multiple dastardly plots, learn terrifying
secrets, and have to cope with knowing that all three of them have
destroyed innocent lives."

Synopsis:
"When Suyana, Face of the United Amazonia Rainforest Confederation, is
secretly meeting Ethan of the United States for a date that can solidify
a relationship for the struggling UARC, the last thing she expected was
an assassination attempt. Daniel, a teen runaway turned paparazzi out
for his big break, witnesses the first shot hit Suyana, and before he
can think about it, he jumps into the fray, telling himself it’s not
altruism, it’s the scoop. Now Suyana and Daniel are on the run—and if
they don’t keep one step ahead, they’ll lose it all."
