The Clockwork Gardner: The Seekers Quest

The miracle that saved the garden is now the secret that could destroy it all.

Six months after Elara Vane's clockwork gardener, Root, brought life back to Oakhaven, a new threat emerges—one built into the very foundation of her success. The supply of aqua mirabilis is dangerously low, and the corrosive nature of the "miracle water" is beginning to crack Root's pristine components.

To save the garden, Elara must abandon her workshop sanctuary and brave the unknown. She constructs Probe, a flat-chassied seeker automaton, and sends him into the sealed, whispering Oakhaven Cavern beneath the village to find a sustainable source.

But instead of finding a pure spring, Probe uncovers a horrifying secret: the magical water is not a cure—it is feeding the sealed core of the ancient blight. With her creation captured and the darkness growing, Elara must descend into the chilling, subterranean labyrinth herself to confront the terrible, organic truth at the heart of her invention, or watch her beautiful, fragile world crumble to mud once more.
