The Clockwork Ledger
In the glittering city of Arcvale, fortunes are built on steam, steel, and trust.
When Lady Verity Turner-Yardley begins noticing small irregularities in her charitable accounts, she initially assumes it is nothing more than clerical error. But numbers don’t lie.
The enigmatic and intriguing Sir Lucas Ashcombe—financial architect, designer of the powerful PCIB banking system, and a man from Verity’s past—sees it too. Tiny discrepancies, and perfectly timed oddities, point to a pattern hidden so cleverly it could have continued for generations. Someone is skimming money from Arcvale’s most respected institutions, and that someone is very, very good at it.
As suspicions grow, Verity and Lucas must unravel a scheme engineered with patience and breathtaking audacity. As if that wasn’t task enough, they must also decide what to do about the heated passions growing between them.
But in a world where reputations glitter brighter than brass, culprits can hide in plain sight. To expose the fraud, they will need more than numbers.
They will need trust, courage, a vital machine…and each other.
