EVERY LIFE BUT THIS ONE

Eli Gilbert has spent his life believing his father never loved him. Then Raymond dies, leaving a workshop full of broken pocket watches, a black ledger—and a warning never to repair them.

Eli repairs one anyway.

Suddenly he remembers a birthday that never happened. A father who smiled. A childhood that ended differently. And when objects from that impossible past begin appearing around him, Eli realises the watches are holding far more than lost time.

Each broken mechanism contains another life. Another choice. Another version of the people he loves. But recovering what was taken comes at a terrifying price: the world around Eli is changing, and even the woman closest to him may forget they ever met.

His father spent decades keeping those lives apart. Now Eli must discover why—before the past takes away the only future he has left.
