In Victorian London, a reclusive clockmaker named Elias Wren discovers that one of his creations—a mysterious timepiece gifted to him by a dying stranger—has the ability to rewind brief moments in time. But each use exacts a price. As Elias becomes entangled in a string of unsolved murders and arcane secrets hidden beneath the city’s cobbled streets, he must unravel the curse bound to the clock… before time runs out for him—and for the woman he once lost.
The rain had a rhythm in London—soft, persistent, like a ticking watch worn by the city
itself. Elias Wren liked to imagine that London was alive, that its gas lamps blinked like
eyelids and its carriages rumbled like a heartbeat. In the heart of Bloomsbury, tucked
between a shuttered tailor’s shop and a crumbling bookbinder’s, stood Wren’s Clocks &
Repairs. The sign had long since faded, its paint stripped by soot and drizzle, but the
shop’s windows still gleamed with polished brass and intricately wound gears.
