The Nilwere - Tim Boiteau

Today the monster in the woods is slain, the damsel rescued, and she and her knight live happily ever after.

Tomorrow it will happen again, and again, and again....

In their attempt to escape their plague-ridden hometown, Constance Dunn and her friend Amity Lancaster become trapped within the mechanisms of a strange fairy-tale clockwork, but every contraption has its flaws, and this one is about to reach its breaking point.
