The Clockmaker's Regret - PATRICK FOWLER

When Time Breaks, So Do the Promises We Keep.

In the small, storm-laden town of Dunrath, time is not just a concept-it is the foundation of everything. Beneath the iconic clock tower, which has stood as a sentinel for generations, lies a dangerous secret, and Eamon Darrow, the town's clockmaker, is about to uncover it.

Eamon's life revolves around precision and order, mending timepieces to keep the world around him ticking smoothly. But when a mysterious woman arrives at his shop carrying a shattered hourglass filled with swirling, silver sand, his carefully ordered world begins to crumble. The hourglass isn't just broken-it's alive, and it holds the key to a fractured reality that was never meant to exist.

Soon, Eamon discovers that the crack in the town's clock tower is no ordinary malfunction. It marks the beginning of a terrifying unraveling-a curse placed long ago to bind the flow of time itself. As the clock's steady rhythm falters, so does Dunrath, its people disappearing one by one, and time itself warping into chaos.

Haunted by visions of the past and warnings of the future, Eamon is thrust into a battle against time itself. Guided by Selene Ravenscroft, a mysterious woman with ties to the curse, and his young apprentice Milo, whose dreams reveal harrowing truths, Eamon must descend into the depths of the clock tower to confront the ancient mechanism at its heart.

But as secrets unravel and alliances shift, Eamon faces impossible choices. The Keeper of Time, a sinister figure tied to the curse, emerges to manipulate Eamon with cryptic warnings and threats. Meanwhile, the ghost of Eleanor, a woman from Eamon's past, appears with chilling messages of destruction.

Will fixing the clock save the town, or will it unleash a darkness that consumes everything?
