Clock City
by Rebekah Dodson
Since Mom died and left me with my abusive, drunkard of a father I don't have much of a life. My only sanctuary's hidden in the woods. At least until I find a jeweled dagger and it transports me to somewhere called Elestra. I seriously can't believe this isn't some crazy dream, with mechanical horses, cat people, demons, and even metal dragons.I just want to go home, but everything is a disaster in Clock City.Who's this mysterious girl who appeared in Elestra? Alayna wears strange clothes and keeps complaining about something called a "cell phone." She even has a demon with her who's sworn a life debt, and now I'm bonded to her to help save the kingdom.I'm just Sebastian, a secret tinkerer. How am I supposed to help her, and the rebellion, save the city? My life has flipped upside down, and I don't know if I have what it takes.No matter what happens it's up to us to show the world what freedom truly looks like.
