In an alternate Victorian world organized around clock towers, damage to a clock can fracture time, while its destruction can bring time to a halt. A prodigy mechanic with the ability to repair clockwork—and time—sets out to rescue his father from a Stopped town. Mysterious bombings threaten England, while the story also brings together two boys whose wishes about the past and their own lives point in different directions. The steampunk-fantasy premise links a personal rescue to wider dangers, with romance among its central elements.

A series of mysterious bombings that could jeopardize all of England.

A boy who would give anything to relive his past, and one who would give anything to live at all.

A romance that will shake the very foundations of time.
