1874. An era of gunpowder, steam, and shadows. In the heart of the empire, the Tower of Renaissance looms over the capital. Some see it as a symbol of glory. Others call it the Obelisk of Silence. Ethan, a simple watchmaker, survives in the monotony of a regime that watches from every corner. In a world where the wrong words can seal your fate, his life is merely borrowed time. Alexander, a soldier raised in the doctrine of order, knows his purpose: to eradicate insurgents before chaos returns. Two opposing fates.A clock that refuses to stop. When the hour strikes, time will never be the same.
