"The town that stopped the clock... and the girl who dared to restart it."

In 1947, the quiet town of Everspring made a decision: they abolished daylight saving time to protect themselves from the chaos of the outside world. But what no one knew was that their vote triggered something ancient—a pact with a mysterious figure known only as the Keeper of Time.

Since that day, no one in Everspring has aged. Children remain children. Trees never shed their leaves. The sky stays frozen in a golden dusk. Time itself has stopped.

Then a girl named Eliza arrives on a forgotten road, carrying a broken pocket watch and no memory of why she came. But when her watch starts ticking again—and cracks appear in the town's illusion—Eliza is drawn into a secret buried beneath the stillness: a broken clock tower, a shattered sundial, and a deal made in desperation.

As Eliza and a local boy named Caleb begin to piece together the truth, they uncover the terrible cost of eternal peace—and the dangerous power of time itself. To save Everspring, they must awaken what was buried... and face the Keeper before time runs out again.

A haunting blend of magical realism, suspense, and coming-of-age mystery, The Keeper of Time is a story about memory, sacrifice, and what it truly means to live.
