Synopsis :

The apprentice's friends think hearing the latest story by Fritz, the writer, will cheer poor Karl up. At least it will distract Karl from the fact that he hasn't produced a new moving figure for the great timepiece at the center of town, as he was supposed to. But to Fritz's horror the story he tells Karl begins to come true, and one of the main characters -- the evil Dr. Kalmenius -- shows up with a terrifying piece of clockwork. It's a knight called Sir Ironsoul. And when Karl decides to accept Dr. Kalmenius's offer and try to pass Sir Ironsoul off as his own work, the results are...well, deadly.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture: An apprentice clockmaker. A sinister doctor. An inn-keeper's daughter. A prince who is not-quite human, and a statue who is not quite...not. All of these characters are brought together in a masterpiece of suspense that keeps the heart thumping to the very last page, and the mind whirring long afterward.
