More Description Enslaved for generations, Canto's people once had hearts. Now they have clocks.
They are forbidden to love, yet Canto loves a little tin girl. When slavers damage her clock beyond repair, Canto embarks on an incredible journey through his strange and fantastic world to bring back her heart. As he faces fearsome creatures and finds unlikely allies, can he conquer the mysterious figure who has taken their hearts to save the one he loves?
Hailed as a "truly entertaining and striking modern fairy tale" (Newsarama) and a "beautiful and heartfelt story about love and heroism" (The Brazen Bull), Canto is an all-ages adventure for past and present generations alike. Inspired by Wizard of Oz and Dante's Inferno. Part fantasy. Part adventure. All heart.
