The Clockmaker's Confession

Orphaned teenager James makes a daring escape from the dreaded orphanage where he endured poverty and abuse. Now, alone in the small town of Maplewood, he reinvents himself and finds his calling as a skilled clockmaker. But his new life takes a dark turn when he learns that Joe Blackthorn, the former owner of the workshop, was murdered by a client whose wish he denied.

One day, James receives an unexpected request of his own - one he cannot refuse.
What choice will the clockmaker make, and how will it shape the future? Is the ghost of Blackthorn still truly haunting the streets of Maplewood? And is it worth turning back time when it relentlessly dashes forward?
