When twelve-year-old Leo Ashbourne hears his mother's old clock whispering in the middle of a stormy night, he knows something is wrong. Moments later, the clock opens to reveal a golden key - and Leo is thrown into a dangerous journey from the Yorkshire countryside to the hidden magical world of Scotland.
Chased by terrifying Hollow Men and guided by a mysterious railway known as the Hidden Line, Leo discovers Aurum Academy, a secret school built inside a great clocktower above Edinburgh. There, children are trained to protect ancient magic, lost memories, and the fragile balance of time.
But Leo is not an ordinary student. He is a Spellkeeper - one of the rare few who can hear old magic. His gift may be the reason his parents disappeared years ago, and now the same dark forces that hunted them have returned for him.
With danger closing in and secrets buried deep inside the academy walls, Leo must find the courage to uncover the truth about his family, trust new allies, and protect the golden key before the door to an ancient darkness is opened again.
The Last Spellkeeper and the Clocktower Door is an exciting magical fantasy adventure full of mystery, friendship, hidden worlds, family secrets, and danger - perfect for readers who love spellbinding stories set in Britain.
