When sixty-year-old watchmaker Harold Vance dies at his workbench, he expects nothing more exciting than the afterlife. Instead, he wakes up in the body of Arin, a fourteen-year-old hero in a glowing high-fantasy world still scarred by the Shadow War.
Struggling with newfound magic, a borrowed youth, and a mage who insists he's her resurrected apprentice, Harold tries to do what he's always done-fix broken things. But sealing the Gate of the Shadow Court sets off a chain of events that echo for centuries.
As magic evolves into gear-driven sorcery, Harold's legacy shapes a new era... until the world begins to overheat, overthink, and ultimately wake up. Now, generations later, young engineer Tamsin Vale accidentally reawakens Harold and Arin's merged consciousness-hidden inside a construct meant to stabilize the world's mana.
Together with a new team of resonance pilots, she must guide a rapidly learning magical network, battle strange anomalies born from corrupted spells, and teach an emerging world-mind how to be more than a machine.
A story of identity, second chances, found family, giant magical constructs, and a world learning to tick in harmony.
Past, present, and future move together... if someone remembers to wind the clock.
