Clockwork Twist Emily Thompson

This is the eleventh book of 12, in a long series of steampunk adventure books. Set in a magical fantasy version of the Victorian era, the Clockwork Twist series follows an unassuming and introverted clockmaker from London, named Twist. When a clockwork princess needs his help, Twist find himself on an adventures around the world surrounded by airship pirates, secret societies, treasure hunters, vampires, dragons, magical kitsune, and even a genie or two. Are you all caught up? The Cyphers have joined the fae in their war on the Rooks, and now they've captured Aden, leaving the Rooks scattered. With dangers on all side and no one left to fight for humanity, Kima suddenly finds herself, and her son, in the center of everything. The Rooks have been at war with the fae for a while now, doing their best to defend themselves and all of the Sighted from the murderous fairies. Now that the Cyphers have joined the fae, the evil Lord Loki has taken Kima's home village, and turned it into a flying, invisible fortress. A magical blood-lock now stands as an impenetrable barrier around the village, that only a native of the village can cross. Aden, and everyone of Kima's family, are now trapped inside with the Cyphers and the fae. Kima and her son, Pahmut, are the only ones who might still be able to get inside. When Twist's old friends, Tasha and Niko appear in the middle of the night to plead for Kima's help to rescue Aden, everyone must put their own personal dissatisfaction with the man aside for the good of mankind. Kima agrees to help, and only reluctantly allows her son to come with her to the battle. He is, after all, more familiar with fairy magic than anyone else on Earth, and he may be the only one who can break the spell. With tensions building between friends, and dangers on all sides, Twist and his companions set out for war, to save an enemy and rest of the world along with him.
