Fall through history on a thrilling journey of shattered time, broken futures, and a love that can never be erased, perfect for fans of This is How You Lose the Time War and The Ministry of Time.

In the beginning, the world will end. This is the story of what happens next.

When Cal meets a soldier of the French Revolution, he knows his lover is destined to die. But what's the point of being a time traveler if you can’t make a few small tweaks to the course of history? A little paradox here, an alteration there—nothing Cal can’t fix, to save the man he loves.

When Fadimatu walks into a museum in 2018, she stumbles upon her own mummified corpse, setting her on the path to a betrayal that has already killed her, and a murder that has not yet come to pass.

And when a sudden rupture in the fabric of history rips through the lives these travelers have built, breaking both past and future, they must reckon with death foretold, love forsaken, and a secret that will shatter time itself.

An extraordinary tale of time travel, betrayal, and a love that echoes through the centuries, from Claire North, the multi-award-winning author of The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August.

Adrian Tchaikovsky, Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author of Children of Time
"Claire North dismantles the time-travel saga and rebuilds it as something poignant, propulsive and glorious."
M. R. Carey, Philip K. Dick Award-winning author of Outlaw Planet
