Time is a Room

In a world where time is malleable and reality splinters into infinite possibilities, Eliza Martin's ordinary life is shattered when her boyfriend mysteriously vanishes. Enter Alden, an enigmatic man who offers her a deal: he'll help find Connor if she agrees to become his apprentice in Epoch, a town that exists outside of time itself.

As Eliza develops her nascent ability to see through the threads of time and parallel realities, she discovers that she's not alone in her power. A shadowy force has been systematically eliminating people from existence, collapsing entire universes in its wake. Caught between her growing feelings for Alden, her friendship with the charming scientist Sid, and her desperate search for Connor, Eliza must navigate a web of loyalties and deception to discover where her true destiny lies.

In this dark contemporary fantasy that weaves together love, betrayal, and the price of power across multiple realities, debut author Sarah K. Trainor crafts a mesmerizing tale about the choices we make when time itself hangs in the balance. Perfect for fans of V.E. Schwab's A Darker Shade of Magic and Blake Crouch's Dark Matter, Time is a Room is a spellbinding journey through the nature of time, destiny, and the sacrifices we make for those we love.

This is the first installment in The Doyen Series.
