More about this book

The Story

The crew of the Prometheus is trying to destroy the world’s clock towers and free time, while captives among them are forced to decide whether to cooperate or resist. As competing loyalties harden, the conflict widens from one struggle over the towers into a larger battle involving gods, hidden agendas, and the fate of the world.

Danny, Colton, Daphne, and others are pulled through shifting alliances, kidnappings, escapes, and dangerous revelations as the stakes rise. The story moves across multiple locations, including Prague, Austria, and India, while different groups pursue their own versions of what freedom or order should look like.

As the truth about time, the towers, and the forces behind them comes into view, the characters are pushed toward painful choices. Relationships are strained and deepened, losses accumulate, and the book builds toward a final confrontation in which survival, love, and sacrifice are all on the line.
