Summary
Twelve-year-old Eleanor "Leo" Vance has a schedule for everything. To her, Christmas isn't a holiday; it's a logistical nightmare of inefficiency that needs to be managed. Her "Golden Planner" dictates every second of the day, ensuring no moment is ever wasted.
But this Christmas Eve, the schedule breaks.
At exactly 11:59 PM, the world doesn't just get quiet—it stops. The snow freezes in mid-air. The silence becomes heavy. And Leo discovers a hidden space between the seconds: The 25th Hour.
Swept away to a crumbling, industrial sanctuary beneath the Northern Lights, Leo meets Nicholas—not the jolly toy-maker of legend, but a weary blacksmith fighting to keep the forge of time burning. But he isn't the only one watching. A shadowy figure obsessed with "optimizing" the world is hunting for the very last hour of magic.
Trapped in a world where time is fuel and silence is power, Leo must decide what matters more: a perfect future, or a messy, beautiful now.Book information
