About this book:

In the shadow of Oakhaven's towering Great Dial, where time is both currency and curse, the death of master clockmaker Elias Thorne unravels a conspiracy that defies the very gears of logic. When the town's beloved timekeeper dies under mysterious circumstances—his workshop eerily silent, his safe emptied, and a malevolent pocket watch frozen at midnight—the veil between legend and reality begins to fray. As the town dismisses his passing as a tragic accident, a hidden prophecy etched in brass and blood stirs to life, its rhythm counting down to an unspeakable reckoning.

Investigator Marcus Thorne arrives to find a community paralyzed by fear, its people haunted by whispers of an ancient lineage and a "Silent Prophecy" that foretells chaos. With every tick of the town's clocks, the danger draws nearer, and the deeper Marcus digs, the more he realizes Oakhaven is no ordinary town—it is a mechanism of shadows, where the past and present collide in a symphony of terror.

As the gears of the prophecy align, the truth will reveal itself in the space between ticks, but will Marcus uncover the horror before the final stroke? Prepare to be ensnared by a thriller where time itself is the enemy, and the only way to survive is to wind the clock backward.
