In a city where time is actually money, people trade their memories to survive.
Clio's parents are slipping away, piece by piece, as they sell fragments of their past at the Time-Market. She's not old enough to trade yet, but when curiosity drives her to break the rules, she discovers something far darker than the city's whispers ever warned her about.
The Timekeepers are immortal, powerful, and in control of everyone's past they hold the answers she's been searching for. But uncovering the truth might cost Clio more than her memories.
