โฆ Synopsis
India Steele is desperate. Her father is dead, her fiancรฉ took her inheritance, and no one will employ her, despite years working for her watchmaker father. Indeed, the other London watchmakers seem frightened of her. Alone, poor, and at the end of her tether, India takes employment with the only person whoโll accept her โ an enigmatic and mysterious man from America. A man who possesses a strange watch that rejuvenates him when heโs ill. Matthew Glass must find a particular watchmaker, but he wonโt tell India why any old one wonโt do. Nor will he tell her what he does back home, and how he can afford to stay in a house in one of Londonโs best streets. So when she reads about an American outlaw known as the Dark Rider arriving in England, she suspects Mr. Glass is the fugitive. When danger comes to their door, sheโs certain of it. But if she notifies the authorities, sheโll find herself unemployed and homeless again โ and she will have betrayed the man who saved her life.
