The Broken Hourglass (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798230053422)

The Broken Hourglass

Where time fractures, memory deceives, and the only way forward is through the past.

Detective Elias Vorne knows the city's undercurrents of grief and rot better than most, but nothing prepares him for the impossible crime scene waiting in Room 207. Blood patterns that rewind. A wall that weeps a symbol burned into his mind. A photo that shouldn't exist. When time itself seems to collapse around him, Elias is forced to question everything: the evidence, his past, and even his own memory.

At the center of it all is a small, broken hourglass-an object that doesn't just measure time... it warps it.

Drawn deeper into a shifting labyrinth of temporal loops, forgotten timelines, and metaphysical echoes, Elias must confront the ghosts of his missing mother, the sinister hum beneath reality, and a truth too strange to trust. As the lines between perception and reality blur, survival hinges on one question: What if memory is the deadliest weapon?

Blending psychological suspense, existential horror, and a chilling dose of speculative noir, The Broken Hourglass is a lyrical, mind-bending thriller for fans of Dark, Blake Crouch, and Tana French. With its eerie atmosphere, fragmented narrative, and deeply human core, this novel explores the cost of remembrance-and the resilience found in facing the void.
