Briar Emerson had lived with the curse that came with the clock since birth. having lost her closest friends along the way, she was lonely. but when her old friends move to her school, she can't avoid them forever, she must protect Parker and Dylan from the chime of the clock, before it chimes again. but can she protect her friends while trying to protect herself, scarred by the memories of the previous deaths that had been placed in her mind?
