The Genesis Clock — Christine McKay

Tick tock. Tick tock. Time marches ever forward, unmindful of the humanity it condemns to death, looking only to the future. What if someone had the power to not only stop time, but reverse it? Those who built the legendary Tower of Babel found a way. But the hand of God crushed the tower before the Genesis Clock's power could be harnessed. Its pieces were scattered across the world, guarded by creatures and societies long since forgotten or shrouded in myth. Evie's father spent his life searching for the clock's parts. Now it's left to Evie to distinguish between fact and fiction, friend and foe, and to determine if her father's quest is worth her life. She can't lose her soul-that she already bartered away when she assumed the role of priestess to the sex-starved Star Goddess-but if she's not careful, she could lose her heart to the man sent to kill her... Because not everyone wants to see the clock resurrected.
