Arthur Penhaligon is not supposed to be a hero. He is, in fact, supposed to die an early death, But then his life is saved by a key shaped like the minute hand of a clock.
Arthur is safe-but his world is not. Along with the key come a plague brought by bizarre creatures from another realm. A stranger named Mister Monday, his avenging messengers with bloodstained wings, and an army of dog- faced Fetchers will stop at nothing to get the key back-even if it means destroying Arthur and everything around him.
Desperate, Arthur ventures into a mysterious house-a house that only he can see. It is in this house that Arthur must unravel the secrets of the key-and discover his true face.
