The Inn That Arrived at Dusk — Book 1 of The Clockwork Inn at the Edge of the Map
Bram Alderidge is a retired caravan guard with bad knees, little money, and no interest in mystical nonsense. But when a brass clockwork mule leads him to a traveling inn he has unexpectedly inherited, Bram finds himself responsible for a building that moves, hearths that judge his intentions, and a ghostly maid who insists she is “not haunting, only supervising.”
The inn appears only where someone is lost, stranded, or in need of shelter. Soon Bram is caring for a runaway apprentice, a betrayed merchant, and other travelers carrying secrets they are not ready to share.
To keep the inn, Bram must learn the one skill he never expected to need: how to welcome people home.
A warm, low-stakes cozy fantasy about magical hospitality, found family, second chances, and a clockwork mule named Copper.
The Keepers Accord — Book 2 of The Clockwork Inn at the Edge of the Map
Bram Alderidge thought keeping the inn meant offering shelter. Hot soup. Clean sheets. A safe place to rest.
Then a sealed room opens, a village dispute threatens to fracture into something worse, and Bram finds himself reading the journals of the keeper who came before him — a man who once held a fragile peace together with patience, careful listening, and seventy years of trust.
The inn has not brought him here by accident.
A cozy fantasy about peacekeeping, inherited purpose, and what it means to be called to something larger than you expected.
The Long Tending — Book 3 of The Clockwork Inn at the Edge of the Map
An aging peacekeeper. A son who has quietly taken on the work. A valley that hasn’t yet found words for what is changing.
The Clockwork Inn arrives into that unspoken tension — and this time, Bram doesn’t face it alone. Tilda, Wynn, Petra, and Merra are all here. The found family is whole. And the inn, which has always known where it is needed, has brought them all to exactly the right place.
A cozy fantasy about legacy, belonging, and the people who tend the things that matter.
