Star Veil
by E J Kitchens
In a world where stars are myths and clocks and maps forbidden, the stars are about to guide again. Airship captain Davy Bowditch wants to build a Star Clock so man won't be dependent on the Time King and his automaton navigators, but to do that, he'll need the help of one very unusual woman—if he can convince her he didn't kidnap her on purpose—and an airship pirate—if he can convince him he didn't kill his son. But in a world where sun and stars are myths, the truth of their existence long hidden behind a faerie veil, trying to build a clock is tantamount to treason. STAR VEIL is clean steampunk adventure-romance novelette. It is book 2 of The Star Clock Chronicles, a collection of standalone, connected novelette- and novella-length stories telling of the defeat of the Time King and the coming of dawn.
