Die verlorene Zukunft von Pepperharrow

Refined, elegant, and overall surprising. - New York Times

Seers have a special talent for dealing with time – so it was more than plausible that Keita Mori worked as a watchmaker. Readers will be transported to Japan in the 1880s in "The Lost Future of Pepperharrow," where nationalism is on the rise and ghosts roam the streets.

Five years after Thaniel Steepleton and Keita Mori met in London, they travel to Japan, an unassuming translator and a watchmaker who remembers the future, because strange things are happening in Tokyo. As war with Russia looms, the staff of the British embassy goes on strike due to ghostly disturbances in their building. Thaniel is tasked with uncovering the source of the haunting. However, he begins to see ghosts himself. Mori is fearful but does not want – or cannot – explain the reasons. Then he disappears without a trace. Thaniel is convinced that the magical events occurring throughout the country are connected to Mori's disappearance – and that Mori is in great danger. He is confronted with the shocking revelation that the watchmaker's time may be running out.
