About this ebook

 A Mysterious Clock Controls Time. What Happens When It Breaks? The clock tower is the center of the town of Time. It counts down the hours, minutes and seconds of every passing day. But unbeknownst to the local inhabitants, it is at the center of a great deal more than that. It is the center of the universe and controls time itself. But it is old and beginning to break, sending the world’s inhabitants skipping forward and back through time. 

Seventeen-year-old Jera Wythnos, betrothed to marry a powerful lord, runs to escape her responsibilities and pursue her dream of traveling the world. Hot on her heels is her betrothed, moving heaven and earth to find her before the wedding day. 

Elian Stump is an outlaw on the run from a bungled heist, but he carries with him a dangerous secret that threatens to either free or ensnare the world. 

They confront sinister forces at every turn, hell bent on preventing them from achieving their goal, and taking control of the clock tower for themselves. 

The universe has chosen this unlikely pair to collect all three replacement clock pieces scattered across the world before the clock tower, and time, breaks for good. On their journey they make friends and enemies, encounter strange and wonderful mythical creatures, and face their own internal demons. 

From the author of epic adventure series Blood Memory and Z-Minus comes this fantasy tale of adventure, romance, and mythical creatures. 

Ratings and reviews

Dreadful. Reads as an overly excited 12 year old has written this and handed in a first draft to be published... desperately needs the advice and help of a good editor. A multitude of continuity errors, characters so one dimensional, that they are cardboard cut outs. No-one seems to have a personality so they are overwhelmingly bland. The first day in the book reads as lasting over 48 hours... what is going on?? A class on novel writing would help future efforts.

It's not 800 pages, as described, but 80. If you're looking for a longer book, try a different one. Otherwise, this isn't too bad.

The story turns unexpectedly intriguing which is good , but you can't purchase the next book in Google, currently at least
