'WONDERFUL - A PROFOUND ACCOMPLISHMENT' Max Gladstone
'AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE' Adrian Tchaikovsky
'ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR' Kate Quinn
From the multi-award-winning Claire North comes an extraordinary and epic tale of time travel, betrayal and a love that echoes through the centuries.
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 is the point of being a time traveller 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 travellers have built, breaking both past and future, they must reckon with death foretold, love forsaken, and a secret that will shatter time itself.
Fall through history on a thrilling journey of shattered time, broken futures and a love that can never be erased.

'An absolute masterpiece of a book: ingenious, touching, sharp-edged. North is one of the imaginative greats' Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of Children of Time
'Poignant, propulsive and glorious' M. R. Carey, author of The Girl With All the Gifts
