The Clockwork Curse: A Battle Against Time and Fate
What if time wasn't just ticking—what if it was alive?
In the towering brass city of Gearswell, steam powers everything... except the truth. When Alden Thorne—a 14-year-old tinkerer with a forgotten past—uncovers a mysterious pocket watch inscribed with ancient runes, he triggers a catastrophic curse that begins to warp time itself. Entire streets freeze. Others race forward. And the city's foundations begin to buckle under the pressure of broken timelines.
Now hunted by the Timebinders, a ruthless secret society determined to weaponize time, Alden must unravel the secrets behind the curse before the city—and reality—collapse. Alongside Lyra Vale, a brilliant gearsmith apprentice, and Tock, a half-mechanical raven with cryptic memories, Alden journeys into ticking forests, underground steam chambers and forbidden archives, searching for the one device that might save them all: the Chronoloom.
But time doesn't want to be fixed.
Spanning 20 gripping chapters, The Clockwork Curse is a rich, cinematic blend of steampunk, science fantasy and temporal mystery. Twisting timelines, mechanical beasts, ancient technology and emotional stakes converge in a high-tension battle between destiny and choice.
