The Victorian Mansion, Evenmere, is the mechanism that runs the universe. The lamps must be lit or the stars fail; the clocks must be wound or Time ceases. The Balance between Order and Chaos must be preserved or Existence crumbles. When Carter Anderson finds himself Steward of Evenmere, he must learn the strange rules of the house; he must travel its winding corridors and secret passages to the myriad countries lying within its walls. He has little time to act. Anarchists have stolen the Master Keys and are seizing control of the house; the Black River is rising; the Eternity Clock is running down. What Carter does will determine the fate of Reality. But his enemies are strong, and the Room of Horrors is never far from him. Former winner of the Compton Crook award, named a Top Ten Locus book, shortlisted for Best Fantasy by the International Association for the Fantastic in the Arts, and a finalist for the Mythopoeic (Aslan) Award.
