As a kid it is hard enough to make true friends, particularly when you are repeatedly being uprooted, and moved half way around the world. If you look like a genius with your nose always stuck in a book it is even more daunting. So, when twelve-year-old Horace Neye and his older brother Alex find themselves in yet another new town, they have to start the tedious process all over again, but the tiny town of Willows is not like any other.

A chance encounter thrusts these brothers along a mystical path with no means to turn back. Horace and Alex, supported by seven newfound friends, experience events far beyond their wildest imaginations as they discover how electrifying it can be to get caught up in the elusive mystery that is time.

Things heat up when Horace vanishes and together these nine kids embark on the adventure of a lifetime. Despite their differences they grow and mature in their relationships, learn to accept each other s quirks, and act as partners to reshape events that might otherwise destroy an innocent girl s life. Against the odds, and embroiled in uncertainty they uncover the significance of the Celestial Armillary, the secrets of the Book Of Eventide, and the fate of the Keeper Of Time.
