Back Across Time: The Clockmaker's Legacy

By: Osswald, Joshua

Joshua Osswald thought his first leap through time was an accident - a dangerous brush with paradox that nearly erased his own family. But when the machine awakens again, it drags him deeper, farther, into the heart of his bloodline.

In 1855, on the raw frontier of Wisconsin, Joshua meets Friedrich Osswald - a German immigrant, master clockmaker, and the origin of a legacy Joshua never knew he carried. As sawmills roar and lanterns burn, Joshua discovers that his family has guarded fragments of time's science for generations.

But Friedrich is not the only one chasing gears that whisper beyond hours. Rival inventor Silas Crane seeks to twist those secrets into a machine of conquest, risking paradox that could erase not just Wausau - but Joshua's very existence.

What begins as a lesson in craftsmanship becomes a duel of makers, gears against gears, legacy against ambition. To save his bloodline, Joshua must stand with his ancestor and accept what neither can ignore:

The Osswalds are more than inventors.
They are keepers of time itself.
