At the University of Lyombarte, the clocks don’t just tell time—they guard secrets that have been buried for fifteen centuries.
​Leo thought his biggest challenge would be surviving the cutthroat rivalries of the Alchemist’s Penance and the watchful eye of the Principal. But when a midnight punishment traps him and his friends Divera and Rowen into the shifting walls of the Living Maze, they stumble upon something that wasn’t meant to see the light since the year 500.
​Driven by Divera’s tenacious resonance in his song magic, Leo joins forces with his friends to scour the Forbidden Archives. They are hunting a ghost, but the more they uncover about the malevolence, the more it seems his city begins to unravel.
​Now, Leo must return to the maze under the cover of darkness to wake the truth. But in a city built on clockwork and chains, some secrets are kept alive for a reason, and the dragon perched atop the Iron Spires is finally starting to stir.
​Knowledge is power. Silence is survival.
But the Truth... the Truth will set Lyombarte ablaze.
