Declan Moore and the Chase for Time

Seventeen-year-old Declan Moore's life changes the day he finds a bronze timepiece that can speak only to him. Tempus is a centuries-old entity with the power to manipulate time itself, and Declan is a Cipher—one of the rare people who can wield supernatural artifacts. But finding Tempus puts a target on his back. A secret organization has been hunting artifacts like Tempus for generations, and they'll stop at nothing to claim both the watch and its wielder.
