The Red Hourglass - Ashley Capes

Alchemy made them slaves. Only their magic can free them.

Thomas is a runaway slave on a barren continent. He'll do whatever it takes to seize his freedom and protect his sister Mia, tasks made harder by their missing memories. When rumours of an old airship surface, Thomas is desperate to find their only real hope of escape.

But freedom is not so easily won. The king who once kept them as pets seeks the magic they wield, and he'll stop at nothing to own them once more. His monstrous, steam-powered tank combs the desert while its ruthless commander hunts them day and night. With the wasteland kingdom's forces hot on their heels, can Thomas and Mia break free and recover their pasts, or are they doomed to live in chains forever?

The Red Hourglass is the first thrilling book in the Slave of the New World trilogy. If you love dystopian adventures, heroic underdogs, and steampunk worlds at odds with magic, escape into The Red Hourglass!
