About This Novel

In Arcadia, a floating city where steam and stars intertwine, time is a quantified commodity and memory is a tamperable part. In the mist of her mother's disappearance, Erin, a trainee mechanic, triggered the forbidden star track pocket watch - this relic of the Claudius family, which can actually tear the fabric of time and space. When she discovered that her mother's holographic image had been rehearsing this farewell seven years ago, and when the Time Administration's gun was pointed at the birthmark on her temple that synchronized with the city's pendulum, she realized that she had never been a bystander to fate. The truth behind the gears is oozing oil: the suspended "Timemaker's Skull" on the top of the clock tower stores the reflections of all parallel worlds, the frozen residents of the slums maintain the posture of the riot twenty years ago, and every drop of Irene's blood flows with the creation code encrypted by twelve lunar eclipses. In this struggle between steampunk and ancient spells, the mother who traveled through time and space left contradictory footprints, and the ring on the right hand of the crow masked man flashed the guardianship code of her birth. When Erin finally stood at the core of the Gear Heart, what came from behind the brass valve was the sound of hundreds of "selves" twisting the clockwork at the same time - it turned out that the so-called "time weavers" were just prisoners trapped in the eternal corridor.
