Nineteen Minutes to Midnight

By Alex James Eccleston

After high school student Jerome Adewale moves into a centuries-old house on the edge of a quiet village, he stumbles upon something impossible - a grandfather clock that appears in the attic each night at exactly nineteen minutes to midnight.

This isn't just any old clock. It's a portal to the past, and through it, Jerome meets Arabella Wentworth, a poet from the 1800s trapped in a world of mystery and fear. Arabella is haunted - both figuratively and literally - by a terrifying entity known as The Shadow Man.

With his new friends, Samantha and Olly, Jerome embarks on a thrilling adventure through time, uncovering dark secrets, dodging unseen dangers, and discovering that the past isn't as fixed as it seems. But some forces don't take kindly to meddling with history, and if Jerome isn't careful, he might just shatter time itself.
