The Bone Watchmaker

He just wanted to find his lost brother. He never expected to start a war with time itself.
Eliah Monteiro is a quiet watchmaker haunted by the past. His life in a forgotten 19th-century Brazilian town is defined by two things: the endless ticking of clocks and the gaping hole left by his brother, Daniel, who disappeared without a trace years ago.
Everything changes when his grandfather, in a final moment of lucidity, gives him a dark, ancient box. Inside lies the Chronophage, a macabre artifact made of bone that whispers promises of power in exchange for blood. When Eliah makes a pact with it, he awakens forces that should have remained dormant.
Now, he is hunted. A shadowy cult known as the Chronomancers wants the artifact to rewrite reality. A relentless, hooded figure with impossible powers is stalking his every move. And a cryptic diary reveals a hidden family legacy connected to a mythical city outside of time.
To survive and uncover the truth about his brother's fate, Eliah must master the Chronophage's terrifying abilities. But the artifact has a price, and it's paid in blood and sanity.
Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and V.E. Schwab, The Bone Watchmaker is a gripping dark fantasy that blends historical mystery with temporal mythology. If you love intricate plots, morally gray characters, and a story that will keep you guessing until the very end, you won't be able to put this book down.
Your hunt for the truth begins now.
