The Clockmaker's Widow: A Victorian Time-Mystery

By Nora Roseworth

London, 1885. When Eleanor Blackthorne buries her tyrannical husband, she inherits a clock shop-and a secret device that can rewind time. Each use of the Anachron extracts a human "toll," bending history with dreadful consequences.

Guided by a guilt-ridden apprentice, a rational-minded inspector, and her fiercely radical sister Beatrice, Eleanor tests the machine's limits-restoring roses, resurrecting memories, and tilting the very heartbeat of London. But every miracle ripples outward, warping streets, shattering clocks, and awakening the phantom consciousness of her late husband inside the gears.

As the Crown's covert Timekeepers close in and the city's clocks spin into chaos, Eleanor must choose: cling to power, sacrifice what she loves, or surrender her own memories to save a future that may no longer include her.

The Clockmaker's Widow blends Gothic mystery, historical fantasy, and a dash of steampunk into an epic of grief, second chances, and the price of rewriting time. Perfect for fans of V. E. Schwab, Susanna Clarke, and Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.
