The village
Take a walk through Thornhaven.
- The workshop on Copperbrook Lane.
- The bakery across the alley.
- A clock tower that has run three minutes slow for as long as anyone remembers, and nobody will tell you why.
Tap a building, open its door, and look around inside. Every place is marked with the book it first shows up in, so you can wander without spoilers.
