In a clockwork Cape Colony, the wind is captured, wound into steel, and set ticking through every street and railway. Above the vineyards beneath Table Mountain, the immense Tower gathers the southeaster to power a machine meant to do what no one believes possible: fly.
For five years, inventor Monson and his dwindling crew have watched their fortunes—and their hopes—tighten like a spring that might snap at any moment. Wagon driver Atherstone has spent four years insisting the machine will never leave the ground.
But his twelve-year-old daughter’s questions unsettle the certainty he has worn like armor.
In the workshop, scarred engineer Woodhouse confronts the cost of his past, while Garo, a gifted mechanic who has built a life on hard-won understanding, dares to believe the wings may hold.
As delays, doubt, and danger gather around the next trial, each must decide what it means to keep faith with an impossible undertaking.
Rich with ingenious machinery, vivid Cape landscapes, and the human grit behind invention, this historical steampunk novel follows a community listening for the moment the whole world might take flight.
