Full Description

The Day the Sun Waited
A novel of time, memory, and the quiet machinery of destiny.
In the quiet town of Halberd, the sun doesn’t rise. The clocks stop. Shadows freeze. And time—something everyone thought immutable—refuses to move.
When Clara Wynn, a solitary watchmaker with a past built on secrets and gears, discovers that time has paused not by accident but intention, she must return to the one place she swore never to revisit: the Fold beneath the town, where time can be wound like a watch spring.
With her young apprentice at her side and the memory of her missing husband echoing in her heart, Clara descends into a hidden world of ancient mechanisms, solar echoes, and decisions that shape the very rhythm of existence.
A beautifully written, genre-defying story blending speculative fiction and lyrical wonder, The Day the Sun Waited explores what happens when the world’s most constant force falters—and the one person who understands time must decide whether to move forward or stay behind.
