In the ancient city of Calivra, time itself is alive—its pulse kept by a clockwork heart buried deep beneath the stone. When the city begins to fade into shadow, a reluctant boy named Avery discovers the key that can restore its rhythm. But every spark of light demands a sacrifice. Guided by Liora, the last keeper of the Clockmaker’s song, Avery must choose between saving himself or binding his soul to the city’s survival.
As the boundaries between man and machine blur, and the whispers of the Clockmaker echo through the gears of fate, Avery learns that every gift carries a price—and some gifts never let go.
