Sneak Peek
What if every grain of sand that slipped through an hourglass didn’t just measure time, but created it? Sixteen-year-old Cressida Vex never believed in magic until the day she shattered her grandmother’s ancient hourglass and discovered that time itself could bleed. Now, with fragments of different eras colliding in her small coastal town, she must journey through the splintered moments of history to find the pieces before reality tears itself apart. Joined by Thorne, a boy from a timeline that never existed, and pursued by the Pale Custodians who guard the river of time, Cressida will learn that some broken things were never meant to be fixed, only understood.

About the author
Ore Nicolas
I write fantasy that feels real and strange in equal measure stories about ordinary people facing impossible choices in worlds where mountains breathe and ancient things still dream. I believe the best adventures happen when curiosity meets courage, and that some debts can only be paid in starlight.View all audiobooks by Ore Nicolas
