In a museum, Lyra finds a magical hand mirror that she is allowed to take home. Through this mirror, she comes into contact with Jaxon, a time trader from another world.
In his world, people come to him to trade time for things like money: someone can surrender years of their life and instantly grow older, or conversely, get time back. For this, Jaxon uses a magical hourglass. In addition, he can control shadows and read minds.
As Lyra and Jaxon get to know each other better, increasingly strange things begin to happen. Time doesn't always seem to play by the rules, and both worlds turn out to be more connected than they ever could have imagined.
But as time is tampered with more and more frequently, a danger looms that no one can stop anymore.
