What would you sacrifice to set time free?

In the quiet town of Eldenwick, the great clock tower has not struck midnight in over a century. The townsfolk accept it as tradition, but Amelia Hartfield, a curious journalist, cannot ignore the mystery.

Her search leads her to Elias Grey, the reclusive clockmaker whose family has long been bound to the frozen hours. Elias reveals the his ancestor struck a bargain that saved the town from shadows, but cursed every Grey to live only half a life. Now, as Elias’s strength fades, the barrier begins to break. Midnight is coming—and with it, the return of darkness.

Drawn to Elias in ways she cannot explain, Amelia discovers that the only way to save him—and the town—is through an unthinkable sacrifice. When the bells toll, one life must be given to reset time.

The Clockmaker’s Secret is a haunting blend of mystery and fantasy, with a tender romance at its core. Perfect for readers who love magical realism, atmospheric towns, and stories of love that transcends time itself.
