The Last Clockmaker's Apprentice

In a steampunk world where time itself is breaking apart, 16-year-old Iris inherits her master's final creation: a pocket watch that can rewind moments by exactly seven seconds. When the tyrannical Chronos Guild discovers her illegal timepiece, she's forced to flee into the Fractured Zones—regions where past and future collide chaotically. Teaming up with a rogue time-hunter and a sentient automaton with fragmented memories, Iris must uncover why time is unraveling and stop the Guild's plan to monopolize history itself. But each use of her watch erases a precious memory, and soon she must choose between saving the world and losing herself entirely.
