*THE CLOCK* When midnight comes, love becomes war.At the stroke of midnight, the veil between worlds tears open. Witch Mariam awakens beneath a blood moon, her magic as ancient as the forgotten pyramids of Egypt and as dangerous as the curse she never asked for. The Underworld craves her power. The Devil has already claimed her hand for his Prince of Egypt. Her fate was written in shadow long before she drew her first breath.Rohan was only a mortal boy from India. Ordinary. Safe. Until one stolen midnight changed the course of both their lives.Now the Clock of Destiny ticks for them alone. Each second drags Mariam and Rohan deeper into a war older than time itself — a war between witches and demons, gods and mortals. Secrets buried in the pyramids claw their way to the surface. Betrayals cut closer than knives. And every truth they uncover pulls them further from salvation.Mariam must choose: surrender her heart to the darkness she was born from, or risk losing Rohan forever. Rohan must choose: trust the witch his father was sworn to hunt, or watch the girl he loves be swallowed by hell.One Blood Diamond can break a two-hundred-year curse. One forbidden kiss can ignite a rebellion. But midnight holds only one chance.In a world where witches are burned and love is the deadliest sin, one couple dares to defy hell itself. If they fail, darkness wins. If they succeed, they will rewrite fate.For fans of witch magic, devilish antiheroes, and love that refuses to die — even in the Underworld.
