The Clockwork Thief

By Rhea Jain

Three hundred and sixty-five years ago, a young inventor made a mistake.

A mistake so small that only he noticed it.

And still so enormous that he spent the rest of his life trying to fix it.

Before he died, he built a mechanism unlike any the world had ever seen and scattered its pieces across centuries. Then he waited.

Now, in 1887 Istanbul, fourteen-year-old Mira Ozan is handed a strange watch by a man who seems impossibly old. The watch is just the beginning.

As clues hidden beneath the city begin to surface, Mira finds herself drawn into a mystery that has been unfolding for hundreds of years. Somewhere at its center lies the Architect's mistake, and the question he could never answer: When something in the past is broken, should it always be repaired?
