In the realm of Todwatch, time is the ultimate authority. Every moment is a promise, a warning, and a countdown. It’s a world where the inhabitants are bound by the constraints of time, forced to live their lives according to the rhythmic tick-tock of the great clock tower. The Todwatch, a monolithic structure that looms over the city, its face glowing like a beacon in the night sky, serves as a constant reminder of the passage of time.

Among the citizens of Todwatch, there exists a peculiar subculture. These individuals, known as ‘Ticks’, live by their own internal clocks, ignoring the conventions of the Todwatch. Some see them as rebels, while others consider them anomalies. However, one Tick, who goes by the name of Maya, dares to challenge the norms. She runs through alleys, dodges through crowds, and pushes the boundaries of what is deemed ‘acceptable’ in Todwatch.

As Maya navigates this treacherous world, she begins to unravel the hidden secrets of the Todwatch. Behind its imposing facade lies a web of deceit and manipulation. Those at the top of the Todwatch hide behind masks of sophistication and precision, concealing their true motives. Maya must confront the leaders of the Todwatch, question the conventional wisdom, and dare to defy the suffix of time. Will she be able to change the fabric of Todwatch’s existence, unlocking the door to a brighter, freer future, or will she succumb to the relentless pull of time?

Todwatch is a dystopian novel where every second, minute, and hour is a blissful journey, yet an agony for those with aspirations for more.
