When eleven-year-old Clara discovers an antique cuckoo clock
in her grandfather's attic, she thinks it is broken. But at
midnight, the clock begins to tick backward. The little
wooden bird leans out of its doors and speaks:
"Time is missing."
Someone has been stealing hours from the town of Millhaven.
Not just minutes - but the cherished afternoons, the golden
evenings, and the shared memories that hold a place together.
Without them, the town is slowly, quietly forgetting who it is.
To save Millhaven, Clara must travel through twelve magical
clock doors, solve the riddles left by a long-vanished clockmaker,
and face the one who has been taking what does not belong to him
- a mysterious figure known only as the Unmaker.
But first, she must believe in the one thing she has always
doubted most: herself.
