Of Cogs and Conduits

Of Cogs and Conduits, a companion novella to Of Mages and Makers by Rel Carroll, reveals the hidden bond between Miss Cecily Keays and the mage assigned to stop her. Cecily is determined to uncover the scientific mechanics of magic. She's focused on her work and securing funding for her invention with no thought for politics, mages . . . or danger. Harland has long known that hope is for fools, and healing magic cuts deeper than it mends. Because in all his time trapped within the Magicstry, Harland had never met a Maker in magic—until her. "I didn't think it was possible for me to love this world and these characters more, but wow, this was such a fun exploration of characters who are so worthy of our attention!" - Kiri Case, Studio C comedy writer and author of The Hollywood Dropout Praise for Of Mages and Makers: "A delightful debut packed with airship pirates, untrustworthy mages, stolen inventions, and just the right touch of sweet romance. This cozy blend of steampunk and magic with original worldbuilding and an engaging cast of characters had me hooked." - Jacquelyn Benson, author of Empire of Shadows
