The Time-Traveller's Choice
One moment, Emma Scott is in her college room in 2015, and the next she's in 1921 falling in love with an ex-soldier with a charming smile and a secret... Emma's an old hand at time travel: the first time she was pulled backwards she was ten years old. She can sense the memories that stone, fabric and wood have soaked up: usually she just sees them, but sometimes she ends up living them. She knows the drill: (1) avoid getting pulled backwards in the first place; (2) avoid the object that's pulled you backwards; (3) prevent the memory that imprints on the object, or, if all that fails, (4) wait it out until you're back in the right time. The problem is that the object was an old ring that her Granny Alice bequeathed to her, and Emma last saw it on the finger of her great grandmother, fleeing into a crowded London street. Now Emma is trying to find the ring and go back to her own time, but her great grandmother has vanished, and meanwhile there's Charlie Lawrence who's making Emma wonder if she even wants to go back at all...Completa
The Crown Locket {Original}
Alexandra blinked once, then blinked again, bringing her back to the present. "Caroline! I know how to win the war. It's not weapons like we thought, it's magic! Magic can help us win, and I know how to channel it." She sat up and looked once again at the man on the ground. "He helped me." -- 14-year-old Princess Eleven Meadow White has never been understood by the royal family. She'd rather be off taking walks than in the dining room listening to her mother make business deals with other kingdoms. But everything changes when Eleven finds a hidden locket in the basement of the castle, a locket that holds powers she could only ever dream of. As Eleven heads on an adventure with 6 other teenagers to figure out the past, she uncovers mysteries and secrets that were never meant to be revealed. Mysteries and secrets that could put everyone in the kingdom in danger.Completa
The World In-Between
Twenty-five and lost, Alex retreats to their ancestral house in a quiet countryside to escape the noise of a life that refuses to add up. Not a single dream fulfilled, not a clear path in sight. Just questions that echo louder in the silence. Then, in a forgotten room and an old mirror that doesn't quite reflect things right, Alex stumbles into a world. Not entirely real but not entirely false either. A place shaped by fear, memory, and all the roads not taken. In its strange landscapes, and fragments of self long buried, Alex must journey through the realm that mirrors the very crisis she is running from. Because to find the way forward, sometimes one have to go to the world in-between.Completa
