The Time Machine is a science fiction novel by H. G. Wells, published in 1895 and written as a frame narrative. Wells is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel by using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposely and selectively forwards or backward in time. The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now almost universally used to refer to such a vehicle. The Time Machine has been adapted into three feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It has also indirectly inspired many more works of fiction in many media productions.

War never truly ends. Thirty years ago, the New Hope Republican Empire was consumed by the bloodiest conflict in human history. No one was left untouched by the conflict that pit sister against sister and friend against friend. Not even children far removed from the conflict. Although the laser rifles have been lowered and the space cruisers are docked, the war is still ongoing. Except instead of trading shots in space, combatants trade insults in the Imperial Court of Empress Naima Dreamwalker. The Empress's court is as lavish as it is deadly and a single misstep can mean doom for the unsuspecting and fame for the calculating. Here the Five Immortal Houses are stuck in a dangerous game of power and status. Houses Dawncrusher, Voidwalker, Goldfoot, Boltcutter and Greentouch were balanced by the Empress, who mediated disputes between Highbred Immortals, but she's been absent for ten years and tensions are rising. Especially with House Goldfoot taking liberties with the lands and coffers under other's domains. Peace is rapidly deteriorating and it's only a matter of time before the Empire is tipped back into open conflict again. The way to peace rests in the hands of four very different people: Necessity Dawncrusher, an Immortal Scion; Ayotunde Goldfoot, an outcast; Clarissa Darkstar, an Imperial bastard and Mordecai Amjad, an Earth-born guard. The only thing connecting them are dreams. If only they could understand them.

(This is book 3 of the P.O.E. Chronicles, Read book 1 Evolution and book 2 Selection if you haven't already) I never wanted a war. All I wanted to do was to get things back to the way they were and to keep those I love safe. But it turns out that everything was just an illusion, that the reality I lived in was all but a lie. That world was no place to live, and in order to make a better future, a future that so many have sacrificed so much to try and archive before me, I had to fight. And to do that I needed to find out the truth, no matter what horrors lie beneath it. The web of lies, of secrecy, of betrayal, is spun so far, so fine, so wide that I had been seeing only a corner of it. I didn't know if I have the strength to go on, but I know that if I don't step up, the world as we have known it will end. If you asked her four years ago what she imagined herself doing in the future, Abigail Beckett could safely tell you that it doesn't involve political meetings, living in an ancient castle and seeking advice from a three hundred years old Original. Having discovered her roots, she had inherited the responsibility to make sure the world doesn't end by the terrorist group Apocalypse and make peace among POE and Legres. With the fate of many of her friends still uncertain, she must race against time to uncover the Apocalypse's plan, pacify the government, and tried not to get killed by her grandmother.
