A Mysterious Clock Controls Time. What Happens When It Breaks?
The clock tower is the center of the town of Time. It counts down the hours, minutes and seconds of every passing day. But unbeknownst to the local inhabitants, it is at the center of a great deal more than that. It is the center of the universe and controls time itself. But it is old and beginning to break, sending the world’s inhabitants skipping forward and back through time.
Seventeen-year-old Jera Wythnos, betrothed to marry a powerful lord, runs to escape her responsibilities and pursue her dream of traveling the world. Hot on her heels is her betrothed, moving heaven and earth to find her before the wedding day.
Elian Stump is an outlaw on the run from a bungled heist, but he carries with him a dangerous secret that threatens to either free or ensnare the world.
They confront sinister forces at every turn, hell bent on preventing them from achieving their goal, and taking control of the clock tower for themselves.
The universe has chosen this unlikely pair to collect all three replacement clock pieces scattered across the world before the clock tower, and time, breaks for good. On their journey they make friends and enemies, encounter strange and wonderful mythical creatures, and face their own internal demons.
From the author of epic adventure series Blood Memory and Z-Minus comes this fantasy tale of adventure, romance, and mythical creatures.

Great Read
There were a few story line choices I found curious, though they weren't bad or misplaced. Very interesting story. I devoured all three books in just a few days. Can't wait to read more of this author's works.

Good Story
This was a good story. Nothing overly serious or complicated. Good adventure and characters keep you hooked and interested. I have only one complaint of sorts. I read the first book as a stand alone "book" but felt that the book was to short. I then found this version. This "omnibus" is a good length for a single novel. I don't like spending money on a book and it turns out being less than 200 pages. To me that is a short story and not worth the price of a full book. With that said I will be looking for the omnibus of books 5-7 today. Good job.

After reading the first free installment I just had to read the rest. I really like it, but it is long. Would make a good summer vacation read.
Follows the adventures of a wealthy merchant's daughter and a thief who have both been 'chosen by the universe' to find replacement parts to the clock that keeps time for the entire universe. They meet many mythical creatures who either help or hinder their mission.

I really enjoyed it. Strange creatures, narrow escapes, sinister plots. A welcome surprise to me was parts that made me laugh out loud, usually someone makes a sarcastic or funny comment. The Epilogue gives a sneak peak of a season 2, he best get on it!

An edge of your seat adventure, never guessing what happens next. A great end to an epic series. Must read.
