The Stopwatch

A stopwatch that steals your will. A mother's desperate secret. The choice that will change everything.

Alyssa Cole thought she understood the Echo objects—haunted relics of a Soviet experiment gone wrong, each one holding the trapped soul of a victim. But when a cold-eyed KGB colonel's stopwatch falls into her hands, she discovers a new kind of echo: one that doesn't weep or plead, but commands. Its previous owner was a man without empathy, without fear, without love. And now his chilling voice is whispering in Alyssa's mind, offering her a seductive promise: freedom from the crushing weight of all the other echoes she carries.

As Alyssa struggles against the stopwatch's growing influence, she and Nikolai are hunted by a figure from his past—a soldier turned private operative known only as "the Hunter," who works for a mysterious figure called the Curator. But when Alyssa is taken to the Curator's secret estate, she discovers the truth: the Curator is a grieving mother, and her daughter was the youngest victim of Project Echo.

To free a century's worth of stolen souls, Alyssa must become something no one has ever been: a living amplifier for the Echo Chain. But the ceremony on the winter solstice will demand a sacrifice far greater than she ever imagined—and the cost may be her very self.

The Stopwatch is the breathtaking third installment in the Echoes of the Kremlin series, where the line between self and soul blurs, and love is the only thing strong enough to bring you back.
