Aethelburg is a city of gears and steam, a marvel of engineering where every citizen's life is dictated by the precise ticking of the Great Clock. But when the Clock begins to malfunction, throwing the city into chaos, a young inventor named Pip discovers a conspiracy that reaches the highest echelons of Aethelburg's society. The city's founders, the revered Artificers, are not the benevolent figures history portrays them to be. They've hidden a terrible secret within the city's intricate mechanisms, a secret that could either liberate its people or doom them forever. Pip, along with a daring journalist named Seraphina, must delve into the city's underbelly, a labyrinth of forbidden workshops and forgotten tunnels. Hunted by the city's automaton enforcers, they race against time to uncover the truth before the Great Clock stops for good, an event that would mean the end of Aethelburg itself. It's a tale of innovation, rebellion, and the fight for free will in a city built on control.
