The Chronomancer's Curse

In a city hiding magic in plain sight, Alistair is the reclusive keeper of a peculiar antique shop. His only companions are three powerful Fae—Ignis, Terra, and Umbra—imprisoned within a grand clock that governs the city's temporal stability. He desires only quiet solitude, but when a cursed artifact stops the clock for the first time in a century, Alistair is dragged from his exile. Now, he must confront the shadows of his past and wield the very power he swore to abandon, or watch his city, his prison, and the Fae he protects unravel into chaos.
