A Sneak Peek
Imagine waking up in a world where time doesn’t flow forward but spirals in every direction at once. Where mechanical creatures made of brass and starlight guard secrets older than memory itself. This is the story of Tevin Ashcroft, a fifteen-year-old watchmaker’s apprentice who discovers that the pocket watch his grandmother left him doesn’t just tell time. It rewrites it. When he accidentally opens a door that shouldn’t exist, Tevin finds himself thrust into the Labyrinth, a living maze between worlds where every choice echoes through a thousand realities. With only his wits, a talking mechanical fox named Jirra, and a girl who claims she’s from a future that never happened, Tevin must navigate shifting corridors, solve ancient puzzles, and confront the Architect, a being who treats entire civilizations like pieces on a game board. The clock is ticking, reality is unwinding, and Tevin is about to learn that some doors were sealed shut for very good reasons.
