Its power lies in the ability to turn, a delicate task that must be carried out to maintain equilibrium. However, should the Turning fail, the Alternate Prophecies unleash a devastating prophecy: Chaos will reign, plunging the world into an inevitable Armageddon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe responsibility of the Turning falls upon the shoulders of the Foundling, a chosen one with a unique connection to the clockwork realm. The story unfolds as Raif, a young boy with a passion for clocks and an untapped destiny, experiences a recurring vision of colossal waterspouts. Little does he know, this vision is shared by the villainous Darke, who harbors a deep desire for power and control.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a twist of fate, Raif is chosen as the Foundling Elect to succeed the enigmatic Canatu, who mysteriously meets an untimely end. Darke, having played a pivotal role in Canatu's demise, now sets his sights on preventing the Turning at all costs. The question remains: where is the Hourglass hidden? And can it be found in time to avert the impending catastrophe?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawn into this extraordinary adventure, Raif is relentlessly pursued by Darke and his evil forces. From the picturesque Dorset countryside to the treacherous catacombs beneath Paris, and finally to the barren shores of the Arrid Sea, Raif embarks on a journey that tests his courage, resilience, and faith in the impossible. Along the way, he encounters a cast of characters, each with their own secrets and motivations, as the plot unfolds in a series of breathtaking revelations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the showdown approaches, Raif questions the improbability of coincidence and wonders if there is a deeper purpose behind his involvement. The Hourglass, with its mysterious powers, holds the key to unlocking the secrets of the clockwork realm and preserving the balance between Order and Chaos. Will Raif be able to fulfill his destiny and prevent the impending Armageddon? Only time will tell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 486g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 139 x 217 x 43 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781800462977\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jo Kemp","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44099644981498,"sku":"9781800462977","price":7.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/hourglass-the-turning","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
