Some clocks tick forward. This one remembers backward. Fourteen-year-old Eli Grant doesn’t believe in haunted clocks or secret auctions.

But when a strange children’s clock—Lot 27—is sold to a bidder who doesn’t blink, time starts pulling him sideways. Eli’s sketches change on their own. Time ticks in reverse. And the spirals in his drawings don’t feel like art—they feel like memories trying to escape. Then he finds the invitation.

I’ve got a hunch that there’s more than meets the eye to this Vincent guy. So what if he has a powerful Kindred and can move about a room like a ghost? He’s friends with my cousin, and my cousin should be expelled for things he’s said about The Prophet.
