About this book:

Step into the extraordinary world of Miranda Hayes, a master horologist whose life of precision is shattered by a mysterious inheritance: an ornate Victorian standing clock. This isn't just an antique; it's the Chronos Engine, a device capable of revealing echoes of the past, as Miranda discovers through a hidden journal left by its previous "Keeper," E. A. Thorne. From fleeting visions of forgotten tragedies to immersive experiences in Victorian London, Miranda is drawn into a captivating, perilous journey through time. But with each revelation, she uncovers a terrifying truth: the clock is a beacon in a hidden war, alerting a shadowy organization known as the Brotherhood of the Loom, who seek to manipulate history for their own ends.

As Miranda grapples with her newfound abilities and inherited legacy, she uncovers the chilling fate of another Keeper, Lady Evelyn Ashford, who sacrificed herself to expose the Brotherhood’s insidious plans to "rewrite" history. Armed with Evelyn's coded journals, a powerful locket, and the reluctant alliance of a skeptical detective and an enthusiastic historian, Miranda is catapulted into a race against time. From the gaslit alleys of Victorian London to the diplomatic halls of The Hague, she must confront the Brotherhood's charismatic and ruthless leader, The Weaver, who seeks to harness the Chronos Engine to power his terrifying "Confluence Engine" and impose a "perfect", unchosen future upon humanity.

*Shadows of the Antique Clock* is a pulse-pounding paranormal mystery that seamlessly blends intricate historical detail with high-stakes temporal adventure. Miranda Hayes, the unassuming horologist, must learn to command the Chronos Engine’s power, not just to observe history, but to defend it, in a battle that will determine the very fabric of reality. With twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat, this book explores the profound questions of free will, fate, and the true cost of manipulating time. Can one woman stand against a hidden society determined to control humanity's destiny, or will the future itself be unmade?
