Лондон, 1883 год. Молодой телеграфист Таниэль Стиплтон, вернувшись домой в свою крошечную квартиру в Пимлико, обнаруживает на подушке оставленные таинственным посетителем ручные золотые часы изысканной работы. Пока он пытается разобраться, как к нему попал неожиданный дорогой подарок, часы спасают ему жизнь — заставив молодого человека покинуть место, где через мгновение произойдет мощный взрыв, который разрушит Скотланд-Ярд и кварталы вокруг. Так Таниэль оказывается втянут в полицейское расследование.

A time twisting alternative history that asks whether it's worth changing the past to save the future, even if it costs you everyone you've ever loved.

Joe Tournier has a bad case of amnesia. His first memory is of stepping off a train in the nineteenth-century French colony of England. The only clue Joe has about his identity is a century-old postcard of a Scottish lighthouse that arrives in London the same month he does. Written in illegal English—instead of French—the postcard is signed only with the letter “M,” but Joe is certain whoever wrote it knows him far better than he currently knows himself, and he's determined to find the writer. The search for M, though, will drive Joe from French-ruled London to rebel-owned Scotland and finally onto the battle ships of a lost empire's Royal Navy. In the process, Joe will remake history, and himself.

В диких, неисследованных землях Перу находится священный городок под названием Бедлам. Он стоит у самой границы таинственного леса, в глубине которого растут хинные деревья, или цинхоны, кора которых — единственное известное лекарство от малярии. Именно туда и отправляются Меррик и Клем, чтобы найти и тайно вывезти черенки цинхон для создания плантации.

Южная Америка предстает в своей загадочной красоте: взрывающиеся деревья с белоснежной древесиной, лампы из сияющей пыльцы, двигающиеся статуи и скалы из чистого стекла… Магия переплетается с реальной культурой и историей инков, погружая читателя еще глубже в невероятные приключения героев среди оживших мифов.

In uncharted Peru, the holy town of Bedlam stands at the edge of a mysterious forest. Deep within are cinchona trees, whose bark yields the only known treatment for malaria.
In 1859, across the Pacific, India is ravaged by the disease. In desperation, the India Office dispatches the injured expeditionary Merrick Tremayne to Bedlam, under orders to return with cinchona cuttings. But there he meets Raphael, an enigmatic priest who is the key to a secret which will prove more valuable than they could ever have imagined.

From the author of The Watchmaker of Filigree Street, a queer sci-fi novel about an Earth refugee and a Mars politician who fake marry to save their reputations—and their planet.

1888. Five years after they met in The Watchmaker of Filigree Street, Thaniel Steepleton, an unassuming translator, and Keita Mori, the watchmaker who remembers the future, are traveling to Japan. Thaniel has received an unexpected posting to the British legation in Tokyo, and Mori has business that is taking him to Yokohama.

Thaniel’s brief is odd: the legation staff have been seeing ghosts, and Thaniel's first task is to find out what’s really going on. But while staying with Mori, he starts to experience ghostly happenings himself. For reasons Mori won't--or can’t--share, he is frightened. Then he vanishes.

Meanwhile, something strange is happening in a frozen labor camp in Northern Japan. Takiko Pepperharrow, an old friend of Mori’s, must investigate.

As the weather turns bizarrely electrical and ghosts haunt the country from Tokyo to Aokigahara forest, Thaniel grows convinced that it all has something to do with Mori’s disappearance--and that Mori may be in serious danger.
