The Brass & Tide Tether

About this book

In the harmonic-powered coastal dominion of 1841 Aethelgard, twelve-year-old Elian only wants to repair pocket gears in peace. But when the region's tide-glass begins freezing, threatening to trap coastal villages in temporal stasis, Elian is thrust into the role of the fated Stillwater Singer. Bonded to Mira, a quick-witted cartographer, the two must tune bronze harmonics and synchronize breath-rhythms to stabilize the temporal currents. Told entirely in reverse chronology, this tale begins with Elian's climactic triumph and unravels backward through time, exploring how a reluctant apprentice and a pragmatic archivist forged a gentle bond of mutual trust, uncovered corrupted ledgers, and ultimately chose partnership over convenience to save their world.
