The Clockmaker`s Curse

Eldridge Hollow has always been a place out of step with time. Its clocks ticked erratically, its streets drowned in mist, and its people lived in fear of the unseen guardians who punished those who dared meddle with the natural order.

Elias Tremaine, the village’s reclusive clockmaker, thought he could control time. His masterpiece, The Ticking Heart, was meant to defy the boundaries of past and future—but instead, it shattered them. When Elias was found dead, his body grotesquely twisted, the villagers blamed the curse.

Now, years later, Clara Tremaine returns to the village she left behind, drawn by her uncle’s enigmatic journal and whispers of unfinished work. But as she unravels the secrets behind Elias’s creation and his murder, Clara discovers that the true threat isn’t time—it’s the lies and betrayals that festered in its shadow.

In The Clockmaker’s Curse, ambition collides with destiny in a haunting tale of obsession, murder, and redemption. The clocks are ticking again in Eldridge Hollow—but will they bring salvation or destruction?
