A Pocket of Time

Dorothy Lilou never expected to work for House Dysmas.

But when the brash archivist arrives at a gilded Galourian manor, she discovers that its badly organized estate records are the least unusual thing about it.

A memorandum has arrived from tomorrow and something strange is feeding on the estate’s fractured time.

And then there’s Gideon Dysmas—an elegant time mage with a mechanical hand, a flock of troublesome clockwork birds, and far too much interest in his new archivist.

As Dorothy and Gideon unravel the manor’s temporal mystery, their professional distance begins slipping away.

Because when everyone else keeps asking for Dorothy’s time, Gideon can offer her something impossible: a moment where the rest of the world simply stops.
