In the quiet town of Elmsway, time has always behaved perfectly. Until it doesn't. Liora has spent her life repairing clocks, but lately, she's noticed something no one else can, seconds that stretch too long. Moments that vanish without explanation, and a world that seems to stutter when no one is looking. Then the castle arrives. Towering, broken, and impossibly alive, it walks into her town on iron legs and refuses to leave. Drawn by something she can't explain, Liora steps inside and everything changes. Cursed into a body that no longer feels like her own, she finds herself trapped in a shifting labyrinth of doors that lead not just to places but to moments in time. And at the center of it all is Cael a mysterious boy with mismatched eyes, a moving castle, and a secret powerful enough to break time itself. He stole something he was never meant to touch. And now the world is unraveling because of it. But if Liora wants to fix her curse she'll have to fix time first. Even if it means risking everything. Even if it means losing him.

This story shows, that the right man won't make you question if he loves you. He'll make you wonder how someone could love you that much. Story description: Seraphina Ravelle, the stepdaughter of Marquess Edric, grew up surrounded by luxury-but behind the mansion doors, cruelty ruled. Her mother, Isadora Ravelle, used her power to torment the Marquess's first daughter, Liora. Seraphina loved her sister dearly, yet she could never show it. Desperate to save Liora from their mother's abuse, Seraphina secretly forged a letter and sent a marriage proposal in her sister's name to the feared Grand Duke, Izek Viremont. But instead of accepting Liora... the Duke sent the proposal back-to Seraphina. Why would one of the most powerful men in the kingdom choose her? And what does the Duke truly want?
