Science fiction; Fantasy; Epic Fantasy; Thieves

Jewels and their lapidaries have all but passed into myth.

Jorit, broke and branded a thief, just wants to escape the Far Reaches for something better. Ania, a rumpled librarian, is trying to protect her books from the Pressmen, who value knowledge but none of the humanity that generates it.

When they stumble upon a mysterious clock powered by an ancient jewel, they may discover secrets in the past that will change the future forever.

[A] sharp, glittering novella about friendship, family, loyalty, and mental instability. --Locus, on The Jewel and Her Lapidary Praise for Fran Wilde The Jewel and Her Lapidary is a splendid tale of courage and transformation in a world as exquisite as Wilde's prose. You will be utterly entranced. --Ken Liu, Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award winner and author of The Grace of Kings Extraordinary world-building and cascading levels of intrigue make Wilde's debut fantasy novel soar. --Publishers Weekly on Updraft
