The Strange Story of the Man Who Murdered Time - Hardcover

In a village untouched by time, people live in serene eternity-until one day when clocks begin to tick, hair turns gray, and moments start to slip away. When the once-timeless haven begins to fracture under the weight of hours and endings, the town watchman sets forth to hunt down and vanquish time itself.

His journey carries him through a sentient forest where trees philosophize on the passing seasons, to a music-haunted lighthouse where time sings with the sea breeze, and finally to a sprawling city of dreams. Along the way, the watchman encounters thieves of memory and moonlight, the wisest of owls, and death itself. It will take all of them to solve the riddle of time.

From the author of the highly acclaimed Fairytale Chicago comes an odyssey through the farthest reaches of the imagination, answering that age-old question-where does the time go?
