The Last Clockwinder

The Clocktower, a wondrous combination of botany and engineering, must be maintained by its Clockwinder—the person in charge of maintaining the structure and the endangered plants it helps propagate. Jules, who visited the Clocktower as a child, returns to find that the Clockwinder has disappeared—having left behind a pair of gloves that can create automaton clones that replicate their wearer's actions.
