The clock in the village of Thornwick strikes midnight backward.
When twelve-year-old Eliza awakens to find silver threads glowing in her clothes and whispers calling from the forbidden temple ruins, she knows this is no ordinary night. The voice belongs to her mother-seven years after she vanished without explanation.
In a secret chamber beneath ancient stones, Eliza discovers a golden hourglass with sands that defy gravity and pulse with starlight. When her fingers touch its surface, visions flood her mind-three realms in danger, a prophecy waiting to be fulfilled, and shadows hungry to break through.
But Lord Blackwell has sensed the Timepiece awakening.
With eyes like bottomless voids and fingers that stretch like living darkness, he corners Eliza in the ruins. As he approaches, reality fractures around him-revealing that the human faces in her village are masks worn by something hollow and ancient.
The Timekeeper's daughter, he whispers. At last.
Fleeing through the Standing Stones portal, Eliza emerges in a breathtaking City of Glass beneath three moons. Here she meets Ash, a silver-eyed boy who recognizes what she truly is: the child of two bloodlines that were never meant to cross-Timekeeper and Velazine guardian.
As shadows pursue her across the Twilight Realm and time itself begins to fracture, Eliza races to locate the remaining Timepieces before the barriers between worlds collapse completely. With each passing hour, the prison holding the Hollowlords weakens.
The prophecy warns: When the three are united, the veil will part. When the child of two bloodlines comes, a choice must be made.
But no one told Eliza what waits beyond that veil-or that time itself has teeth.
Book One in the spellbinding Hourborn Legacy series, where one girl's choice will echo across past, present, and future, determining the fate of three magical realms forever.
