Sinopse

Jay Lake's first trade novel is an astounding work of creation.  Lake has envisioned a clockwork solar system, where the planets move in a vast system of gears around the lamp of the Sun. It is a universe where the hand of the Creator is visible to anyone who simply looks up into the sky, and sees the track of the heavens, the wheels of the Moon, and the great Equatorial gears of the Earth itself.Mainspring is the story of a young clockmaker's apprentice, who is visited by the Archangel Gabriel. He is told that he must take the Key Perilous and rewind the Mainspring of the Earth. It is running down, and disaster to the planet will ensue if it's not rewound. From innocence and ignorance to power and self-knowledge, the young man will make the long and perilous journey to the South Polar Axis, to fulfill the commandment of his God.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

    He rejected her before the crown could touch her head.The bond shattered in front of the pack — but her heart never forgot.Now the Luna he betrayed is back… and she’s no longer the girl he left behind. When Kaia is rejected by the Alpha King, she loses more than her future — she loses her place, her name, and the bond that was meant to define her life. Forced into exile, she becomes stronger, colder, and impossible to break. But when danger threatens the territory, the Alpha King summons the one woman he swore he didn’t need… and the past refuses to stay buried. The girl who once waited to be chosen returns as a warrior who chooses herself. Kaia rebuilds her power, her identity, and the strength the pack underestimated. The broken bond begins to stir again, not as weakness — but as something dangerous, undeniable, and impossible to ignore. Orion never stopped feeling the connection he rejected. Regret shadows every decision, every sleepless night, every moment she stands within reach but beyond forgiveness. As threats rise and secrets surface, he must face the truth: losing her was the greatest mistake of his reign… and winning her back may cost everything. Kaia must decide whether love is redemption or another betrayal waiting to happen. Trust means vulnerability. Forgiveness means risk. And claiming the bond again means standing at the center of power, politics, and enemies who now know exactly how valuable she is. A rejected Luna, a remorseful Alpha King, a bond that refuses to die, and a revenge story that turns heartbreak into power. If you love rejected mate angst, second-chance passion, protective Alpha heroes, political pack drama, and fierce heroines who make kings beg — this paranormal romance delivers emotion, tension, heat, and a hard-won happily ever after. Start reading and watch the betrayed Luna reclaim her crown.

    After crossing Sionne off his revenge list and sealing the tremor-causing interdimensional portal for good, Light returns to the Abyss, where his debrief is interrupted by news from Mei. She tells Light they’ve found his younger sister, Yume, who went missing after someone—or something—destroyed their hometown. It turns out she is still in the Human Kingdom after being rescued by Princess Lilith, who kept her on as a maid. While Light makes plans to bring Yume to the Abyss, he reminisces about his life since they last saw each other. He recounts the days after he was betrayed, going from merely surviving the Abyss with Mei to pushing past his limits, summoning more overpowered allies, and eventually transforming the world’s more notorious dungeon into his very own hidden kingdom. When Light finally meets Princess Lilith himself, they find they share a passion for improving humanity’s lot—but a dark secret plagues her kingdom.
