About this audiobook
An empire ran on perfect time. Perfect time ran on something worse.
For sixty years, the great clock of Hollowmere kept perfect time. Trains ran, harbors opened, an empire set its calendar by the city's bells, and no one asked what the bargain cost.
Six weeks ago, the clock stopped.
Now Hollowmere is dark and cold for the first time in living memory, and, for the first time in living memory, honest. The cathedral on the hill still stands. Its bells still ring. Its high order still claims authority over a congregation whose grief is real and whose faith was built on a foundation only a handful of men have ever been permitted to see.
A ship returns to the harbor with questions no one wants to answer. And in the cathedral at the top of the city, the Arch-Cogitant is preparing a ceremony that will make visible, for the first time, what the beautiful thing has always been doing.
The clock stopped. The cathedral is still standing.
That is the problem.
