About this listen

Prague, early 1900s. Master clockmaker Tomas Hruby builds the impossible: a machine that turns the key of time backward. A spilled glass unpours. A fracture seals. A breath of grief rewinds. But every miracle exacts a quiet toll—each reversal erases a memory.

With Lida, the bright young apprentice who believes repair is its own kind of mercy, Tomas pushes the mechanism further as the city begins to learn the backward grammar of grace. What starts as small rescues soon becomes a reckoning: how much can be undone before a life forgets itself? To save strangers, Tomas may have to surrender the last, clearest memory of the woman he loved.

Lyrical and deeply human, The Clock That Stole Tomorrow is a haunting story about loss, forgiveness, and the dangerous mercy of second chances—and what it means to let time move forward again.
