She would rather vanish from time itself

than belong to him

 

England, 1239.

​

Sixteen-year-old Cecily de Malet has three days before her future is decided for her—and the man her parents are considering is older than her father, powerful enough to destroy her family, and terrifying in ways she is only beginning to understand. Her parents urge patience. Caution. Time.

​

But time is the one thing Cecily doesn’t have.

​

When she discovers her grandfather’s forbidden machine—a device that can tear a person loose from the present and hurl them into the unknown—she makes a desperate choice. She doesn’t care where it sends her. Anywhere is better than here.

​

She doesn’t expect Finn to follow her in.

​

Finn knows things about Lord Alard de Veyron that Cecily doesn’t. He has reasons of his own to stop this marriage—reasons he won’t name. And now, stranded together somewhere in the wreckage of time, he and Cecily must find a way back before the world they left behind closes around her like a trap.

​

But the longer they’re lost together, the more Cecily begins to wonder—is she trying to get back to escape her fate, or running from something she’s only just found?

​

A thrilling new adventure in the world of the Hand of Maud series—no prior reading required.
