Clockwork Court: The Thirteenth Hour

By Karen L Schroeder

In the Clockwork Court, every hour has its place.

Aurelia has always found comfort in the steady rhythm of the Great Clock that watches over her city. Each day unfolds with familiar precision, every season arrives in its proper turn, and life follows patterns as dependable as the gears hidden within the tower's walls.

But something is changing.

Hours vanish without explanation. Seasons linger too long. Memories blur at the edges. The Court itself-once vibrant and beautiful-seems to be quietly fading.

As the mystery deepens, Aurelia and her sister Virelle uncover fragments of a forgotten history buried beneath generations of tradition. What begins as a search for missing time soon becomes a journey through memory, grief, joy, love, and the delicate balance that sustains both a life and a world.

Rich with clockwork wonder, folklore-inspired fantasy, and themes of hope, resilience, and renewal, Clockwork Court: The Thirteenth Hour is a story about what happens when we cling too tightly to the moments we cherish-and the courage required to let them change.

Because nothing fades more quickly than a season that refuses to end.
