Description
Sebastian Hermes wishes his future was history. In the Counter-Clock World, time runs backwards. People are born in their graves, dug up when they can start speaking, and are reintroduced into society where they grow younger before returning to the womb to be unborn. The Hobart Phase has been reversing time since 1986, changing everything. The library is a powerful and feared organization that erases records of events that have no longer happened. Anarch Peak, a black religious leader, is due to be old-born, and the library wants him dead. Seb Hermes is sent to retrieve Anarch from his captors before tensions trigger an all-out war. Seb's mission is fraught with danger, and he must succeed before it's too late. With religious communities on the brink of conflict, the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
