When Iris Blackwood receives an invitation sealed in wax and written in silver ink, she does not expect it to change her life. The message is clear yet impossible: come to the old clock tower at midnight and leave before the clock strikes twelve or never leave again. Drawn by curiosity and the strange pull of the unknown, Iris discovers the tower hides more than dust and gears. The clocks move on their own, whispering secrets through shifting time. With the help of a boy named Ezra, she unravels a mystery that began with a dead jeweler and ends with the truth buried between ticking seconds. Each clue leads them closer to danger and to the moment when time itself might stop.
