Time. Something that both interests and haunts Hugo Gerard, a 17 year old in the early 1900s of France. When he is offered an apprenticeship to a clockmaker, Hugo leaps at the chance. But when he one day accidentally slices the skin from his left hand, a man appears in front of him, declaring his name is Time and Hugo is his son made of clockwork. He explains that his younger brother, Oblivion, is adamant about taking over the forces of time, and it's up to Hugo to save him. Thus begins a historical journey filled to the brim with suspense, drama, and fantasy that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

When Eva Madrigal's father vanishes without a trace, she is left alone in his eerie clock shop, where hundreds of ticking timepieces echo like restless hearts. Behind a locked door, she uncovers his greatest secret: clocks that can rewind memories. At first, Eva is fascinated. A turn of a key can make a grieving widow forget her sorrow, or a guilty man forget his sins. But each winding has a cost, and the clocks begin to whisper to her in the silence of the night. The more she experiments, the more she realizes her father's disappearance is tied to the very power he tried to control. Pursued by a faceless figure known only as the Collector, Eva must untangle the truth hidden in her father's journals and in the ticking of the cursed clocks. But when she discovers a timepiece carved with her own name, she learns a chilling secret: her life, her memories, and perhaps even her soul are bound to the gears of a single clock. In a world where time can be stolen, traded, or broken, Eva must choose: destroy the clocks-or risk being unwound herself.
