Lucy Hart knows better than anyone what it's like to grow up without parents who love her. With a childhood marked by abandonment and loneliness, she found refuge in books, specifically in the Clock Island saga by Jack Masterson. Now, at twenty-six years old, she works as a teaching assistant and she is able to share her love of reading with her bright little students, especially with Christopher Lamb, a seven-year-old orphan. Lucy would give anything to adopt Christopher, but the mere idea of starting a family seems like an impossible dream to achieve without the necessary financial support and stability. Just as Lucy is about to throw in the towel, Jack Masterson announces that he has finally written a new book. And what's even better: he has organized a contest on the real Clock Island and Lucy is one of the lucky four chosen to compete to win the only piece in existence. For Lucy, the opportunity to get her hands on the most coveted book in the world is everything, for her and for Christopher. But first she will have to face ruthless book collectors, her cunning opponents, and the handsome (and grumpy) Hugo Reese, the illustrator of the Clock Island books. Meanwhile, Jack "the Mastermind" Masterson plans the ultimate plot twist that could change their lives forever.
