Beth Cato - The Clockwork Crown (epub) - j_ray

Narrowly surviving assassination and capture, Octavia Leander, a powerful magical
healer, is on the run with handsome Alonzo Garrett, the Clockwork Dagger who
forfeited his career with the Queen's secret society of spies and killers - and
possibly his life - to save her. Now, they are on a dangerous quest to find safety
and answers: Why is Octavia so powerful? Why does she seem to be undergoing a
transformation unlike any witnessed for hundreds of years?

The truth may rest with the source of her mysterious healing power - the Lady's Tree.
But the tree lies somewhere in a rough, inhospitable territory known as the Waste.
Eons ago, this land was made barren and uninhabitable by an evil spell, until a few
hardy souls dared to return over the last century. For years, the Waste has waged a
bloody battle against the royal court to win its independence - and they need Octavia's
powers to succeed.

Joined by unlikely allies, including a menagerie of gremlin companions, she must evade
killers and Clockwork Daggers on a dangerous journey through a world on the brink of
deadly civil war.
