TIME IS A DEBT. AND YOUR CLOCK IS RUNNING OUT.
WHAT IF EVERY SECOND OF YOUR LIFE WAS A DEBT YOU COULD NEVER REPAY?
In a fractured London where centuries collide and time is the deadliest currency, freedom is a luxury no one can afford. The Guild rules all—from the rhythmic pulse of porcelain clocks to the very memories they choose to erase.
Arthur Penhaligon is no hero. He is a physician with a scarred soul and an arm of shimmering, pearlescent light—a constant, haunting reminder of his cursed lineage. He isn't here to save lives; he's here to do the impossible: to heal time itself.
Flanked by Margaret Sterling, whose silence holds a razor's edge, and Julian Blackwood, the chronicler of a world in decay, Arthur must descend into the dark heart of the Tower of London. There, amidst the ancient crypts, he will finally confront the Architecture of Oblivion.
