When Eva Madrigal's father vanishes without a trace, she is left alone in his eerie clock shop, where hundreds of ticking timepieces echo like restless hearts. Behind a locked door, she uncovers his greatest secret: clocks that can rewind memories. At first, Eva is fascinated.

The more she experiments, the more she realizes her father's disappearance is tied to the very power he tried to control. Pursued by a faceless figure known only as the Collector, Eva must untangle the truth hidden in her father's journals and in the ticking of the cursed clocks. But when she discovers a timepiece carved with her own name, she learns a chilling secret: her life, her memories, and perhaps even her soul are bound to the gears of a single clock. In a world where time can be stolen, traded, or broken, Eva must choose: destroy the clocks-or risk being unwound herself.

Twelve-year-old Lucien Vallois has never known the world outside the ticking walls of his father's clock shop in the sleepy French village of Saint-Brieuc. But when the Nazis march into town, time itself seems to stop. His father, a quiet and brilliant horologist with secrets of his own, vanishes one foggy morning-leaving Lucien behind with a cryptic pocket watch and a whispered warning: "Don't let the hands fall to midnight. Or they'll find you." Left to fend for himself, Lucien navigates a world of danger, spies, and broken trust. The townspeople whisper of collaborators. Children disappear. Resistance fighters vanish into the woods. And every night, Lucien winds the strange golden watch, terrified of what might happen if he doesn't. But the watch doesn't just tell time-it shifts it. As Lucien begins to unravel the mystery of his father's disappearance and the watch's powers, he finds himself slipping between moments in time-sometimes seconds, sometimes days. Each "slip" gives him a glimpse of what's to come: betrayals, bombings, even death. Yet time travel comes at a price. The more he changes, the more unreal his own reality becomes. People forget him. Places vanish. History reshapes itself. And soon, Lucien realizes he isn't just caught in World War II-he may be the key to ending it... or ensuring it never ends at all.
