Fantasy
Thomas Escott has always wanted to be a toymaker, yet
just as he achieves his dream, an accident claims his
right hand. He’s certain his life is over—until he hears
about groundbreaking prosthetics being made by a
reclusive inventor.
Jethro Hastings is perfectly content to live alone up in
the mountains working on a secret masterpiece: a humanoid
automaton that will change the scientific community
forever. He’s behind schedule, and the date of the
unveiling is fast approaching, so when Thomas shows up on
his doorstep offering help in exchange for a mechanical
hand, Jethro agrees. Time, after all, is running out on
another deal he’s made: one with the devil. The devil gives Jethro’s inventions life, but he can just
as quickly take life away—Jethro’s, to be exact. As the
sand in the devil’s hourglass falls, marking the time
until the end of the deal, inventions go haywire, people
get hurt, and Thomas realizes he needs Jethro just as
much as his prosthetic. Now he must find a way to save
Jethro’s soul, but negotiating with a devil is just as
difficult as it sounds.
