A declining name. A vanishing hour. A secret older than the city itself.
Lucerys Redford has always noticed what others miss - the flaw in a spell, the gap in a story, the thing standing just slightly out of place. It's what gets him through the National Magical Service Examination and into a government post in the Wardenry, chasing petty cases through the black-stone streets of Ravenshollow.
Then a quiet government registrar loses six hours of his own memory, and Lucerys finds a single trace of something that shouldn't exist: a fine grey dust, once alive, that can pass through walls no lock was ever built to stop.
The trail leads him through smugglers' fog on the canal wards, into a living archive guarded by something that has kept its secrets for three centuries, and finally to a hidden chamber holding an object that can show the truth of anything that has already happened - if you're willing to risk what it shows you back.
The Chronometer is the first book in the Lucerys Redford series - a gothic, mystery-soaked fantasy of old magic, older grudges, and a young man who is very good at asking the one question everyone else forgot to.
