Time is a luxury Vane can no longer afford.
In the subterranean depths of Oakhaven Harbor, master watchmaker Vane lives by the rhythmic pulse of gears and gravity. His world is measured in milliseconds, anchored by the Iron Vessel-a silver chronometer that holds the ghost of his past and the heartbeat of his sanity. But when the clock stops, his life shatters.
In a single, rain-drenched night, his workshop is ransacked, his daughter is stolen, and the Iron Vessel vanishes into the city's treacherous underworld. To get her back, Vane must trade his loupe for a blade, descending into a labyrinth of salt, blood, and mechanical deception. He soon discovers that the timepiece he spent sixteen years guarding was never just a memento-it was a countdown to a conspiracy that could drown Oakhaven in shadows.
With every tick of the clock, the line between protector and predator thins. As the tides rise and ancient secrets surface, Vane must face a devastating reality: some mechanisms are designed to break us.
When the final gear turns, will he save his daughter's future, or be crushed by the weight of his own history?
