THE CITY BEYOND THE CLOCK

A century ago, a mysterious catastrophe struck Aurelia.
Much of the city's memory vanished, and a portion of its history was lost. Afterward, Aurelia closed itself off from the world.
Years passed.

As a full century went by, the residents of Aurelia grew accustomed to their new lives. Most knew nothing of the city's true past, yet they felt no sense of tragedy; they had built a new society, the city flourished once more, and the past became merely a historical void that few cared about.

Then came Layan.

A thirteen-year-old girl who knew nothing of Aurelia, yet found certain places in the city strangely familiar.

Upon her arrival, strange things began to happen.

A clock striking thirteen times.
Pages appearing in old books where none had existed before.
People recalling events they had believed never took place.
Places beginning to change.
And memories, buried for a century, starting to resurface.

Layan met Younis, Mira, and Samer, and together the four of them began to investigate the cause of these strange occurrences.

But they discovered something far more dangerous:

Aurelia was not beginning to forget... it was beginning to remember.
And with every memory that returned, they drew closer to the catastrophe that had struck a century ago.
