Sinopse

When the son of the watchmaker is woken by a discomfiting sound, he knows it means trouble. Outside on the wet and slippery cobblestones of the once-thriving port town of No ManâÇÖs Landing, the metal boots of the automatons clang with regimented force enforcing the EmperorâÇÖs curfew. But thatâÇÖs a sound Barthian has known since the day he came into this world, so itâÇÖs hardly something that would wake him from sleep.áFrom his straw bed in the workshop, Barthian can hear his fatherâÇÖs gooey cough as the fog fever takes hold of him again. ItâÇÖs a damp night, and although itâÇÖs slightly warmer inside the cottage than it is out here in the workshop, Barthian can tell that his father is struggling . If he doesnâÇÖt get a tonic from Lukas soon ... well, it doesnâÇÖt bear thinking about. But thatâÇÖs not the sound that has woken Barthian.áThe young boy aims his ear at the clocks around the walls. So many of them ... big clocks, small clocks, old clocks, ancient clocks! Every clock in Aethasia has passed through this workshop, and a great many of them have stayed here, usually because the owner has run out of money, left the town looking for work, or worse. Barthian listens for their mechanisms, their hearts ... the cogs, the springs, the swinging of the pendulums as they mark the passing of the night.áTonight thereâÇÖs something wrong. HeâÇÖs sure of it, even if the best pairs of ears in Aethasia would struggle to notice what has woken Barthian.áYes, the clocks are slowing down.áAll of them.
