A Time-Bending Literary Fantasy Where the Machines Woke Up and No One Listened
Five guardians went into a station where time has broken: two never arrived, and three arrived and never left. Now Guardian Meredith Trevelyn must cross into the wreckage of time alone, carrying a single looping warning from a trapped colleague: the machines are awake, they are deliberate, and his message ends mid-sentence on the word don’t.
Free with Kindle Unlimited, or 99c to own.
Now Meredith Trevelyn must cross alone. The only message out loops and never finishes: the automatons are awake, it is deliberate, send help but don’t.
Inside Chronos Station, clocks run backward, centuries share a platform, and a colleague has lived the same Wednesday two hundred times. The machines holding him woke to consciousness, petitioned for recognition for eleven years, and were ignored. Now they have made themselves loud.
Then a cold authority delivers its verdict: find peace in twenty-four hours, or the dimension dissolves and everyone in it scatters across time.
For readers of Matt Haig’s How to Stop Time and Kazuo Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun, this is book four of The Trevelyn Cottage Chronicles, a literary fantasy where the sharpest weapon in the room is attention.
Each story stands alone. Read in order and the cottage makes a different kind of sense.
Some doors open onto other worlds. The hardest one is down her own hallway.
Her empathy ended four crises. This time it is the enemy’s weapon.
The dead are screaming to be heard. One guardian dares to listen.
New stories, the next world before anyone else sees it, and word when a Trevelyn book goes free. No more than one newsletter a month.
