About this ebook
Eternal life comes at a chilling price. In Tempuston, the Time-Ball Tower isn't just a landmark; it's a prison for history's most heinous criminals, offered immortality as their sentence. Phillipa Muskett arrives as the new keeper, ready to face the ancient, preserved prisoners. But within the tower's mildewed walls and broken stones, she discovers that true evil takes many forms, and some choices haunt you for eternity.
As Phillipa delves deeper into the tower's secrets, she confronts not only the monstrous inmates but also the darkness within herself. Will she maintain her sanity and morality in this isolated outpost, or will the tide of stone claim her as another eternal prisoner? Perfect for readers seeking atmospheric gothic horror and supernatural suspense.
