Discover The Knack 

In a city powered by magic and protected by towering mechanical guardians, danger lurks far beyond the walls—and deep within them.

Princess Rowan Andula can hear the voices of machines, a rare gift that makes her one of New Torwood City's most talented engineers. Conall, a disgraced Ranger commander with a wolf's spirit inside him, has spent years outrunning his past. Together with the members of Squad 54, they are drawn into a web of ancient technology, political intrigue, deadly monsters, and long-buried secrets that threaten everything they hold dear.

As mysterious forces rise in the wild Meadows and enemies work from the shadows, Rowan and Conall must navigate fragile alliances, uncover the truth behind their city's foundations, and fight to protect the people they love. The Knack Series is an epic fantasy-steampunk adventure filled with magical machines, fierce loyalties, found family, and high-stakes action.

The Knack Series, Book 1

A Knack for Metal and Bone

A royal tinker who hears the whispers of machines and a disgraced soldier with a wolf inside him must join Ranger Squad 54 on a perilous mission into the wild Meadows to rescue missing scientists before war erupts. For Rowan, it’s a chance to escape the suffocating expectations of royalty and prove her worth as more than a princess with oil-stained hands. For Conall, it’s an opportunity to redeem his shattered career. But as monsters close in and dark secrets unravel, they’ll discover the greatest threat to New Torwood may not lie beyond its walls, but at its very heart.
