What if time isn't a line—but an endless spiral?
Fifteen-year-old Eliann Tarwell discovers a strange pendant hidden in an attic trunk—an object that doesn't just stop time... it reshapes it. In an instant, his quiet life unravels into a whirlwind of alternate versions of himself, clocks with thirteen numbers, whispering shadows, and children forgotten by the ages.
Joined by Lyra—a mysterious girl who knows more than she says—along with a mechanical dog named Rover and a clock-faced girl called Tick-Tock, Eliann embarks on a journey through centuries—from 1823 to 2137—to uncover the answer to the question that haunts him: Was he made by people... or by time itself?
This is a story of paradoxes, lost memories, impossible choices—and the quiet truth that "forever" is just a word.
