What would you do for an hourglass that stopped time?
Nick
Rostov's father is the worst stage magician in Las Vegas. He can barely
pull a rabbit out of a hat. So it is a strange morning indeed when Nick
wakes up to find himself on the top floor of the Winter Palace Casino
with a promise from the greatest magician in the world to teach him
magic.
And not just stage magic. Real magic. Nick sets out to
learn about his mother's family, the strange Russian clan of magicians
that secretly run the Winter Palace. But there is a catch: Nick has the
sight, the ability to see into the past. And so it must fall to him,
with only his cousin Isabella to help, to pick up the long-buried clues
and unravel the mystery of The Eternal Hourglass, the only magic
artifact ever created that can actually stop time.
