Oni

Description

Time is the one thing you can never get back. Archie Pine found a way around that.

In the year 2187, Archie Pine makes his living uncovering secrets in the divided city of Orlinia. He’s a private investigator with an illegal advantage no one else knows about: an experimental watch capable of sending him up to twenty-four hours into the past.

It makes solving the impossible remarkably easy.

But Archie lives by one rule: never interfere.

Observe the past. Find the truth. Get out.

When a suspicious death leads Archie into the buried secrets of the corporation responsible for creating his watch, that rule becomes increasingly difficult to follow. What begins as another investigation draws him into a conspiracy involving forbidden experiments, missing test subjects, and technology that was abandoned for a reason.

Then Archie makes a choice he can’t take back.

The past changes.

And something follows him out of it.

Hunted by a terrifying creature known as an Oni and confronted by consequences that seem to defy both science and reality, Archie discovers that changing fate comes with a price. Now, with time turning against him and the people he cares about caught in the consequences of his actions, he must uncover the truth behind the technology on his wrist—and find a way to correct his mistake before time runs out.

A science-fiction thriller blending mystery, time travel, psychological horror, and the supernatural, Oni asks a dangerous question: If you were given the power to change the past, could you resist using it?
