Only a few are gifted the power to stop time — and many would kill for it.

In the dying city of Grayspire, time itself is broken. Moments freeze mid-breath, memories bleed into the streets, and the Cage that once kept order is cracking apart.

The Timeborn are rare — cursed souls able to slow, bend, or stop time itself. Once revered, now hunted, their very existence threatens the dying grip of the Fixed Order. Marked by the Breath, they carry fragments of a living river that remembers everything... and forgives nothing.

Leona, Luke, and Aiden are among the last. Each bears a dangerous gift — to shatter the laws of time — and each carries a target on their back. Clockhunters prowl the ruins. Drones scan for the unchained. And deep beneath the Shardspire, the Architect — a machine forged from stolen Breath — wakes to erase them all.

In a world where every heartbeat can be stolen, surviving means more than fighting.

It means remembering who they truly are...

Before time runs out.
