Fourteen candles flame a wish. One gunshot twists it. Sebastian, a bullied teen, finds himself catapulted through time on his birthday, landing in Victorian London with a bullet wound that won't heal and a burning question: how do you get home when home no longer exists?

Trapped between two worlds, Sebastian navigates cobbled streets and horse-drawn carriages, dodging taunts from peers replaced by the dangers of an unfamiliar past. With a borrowed hat and grittier resolve, he unravels the mystery of his time travel, the cursed bullet, and the wish that threw him off course.

But London holds its own secrets, whispers of clockwork conspiracies and shadowy figures who seem to know more than they let on. As Sebastian chases answers, he discovers a strength he never knew he possessed, and a truth about himself that transcends time itself.

This is a story of birthday wishes gone wrong, of courage forged in cobblestones, and of one boy's extraordinary journey through time to find his way back... to himself. Prepare for a thrilling adventure where history twists with mystery, clockwork ticks with suspense, and every birthday candle casts a new shadow on the road ahead.All Rights Reserved
