    About this ebook

    Is the time travel possible? A middle-aged librarian Jim Riley certainly thinks so, after he inherits a mysterious crystal ornament. During his trips into the past, Jim encounters something sinister lurking in the dark cobbled streets of a Victorian town and becomes a witness to horrific events. Things are not what they seem to be and Jim soon loses the track between dreams and reality.

      Prologue

      Can anyone hear me? Please… help! Jim shouted and pleaded until his throat was raw. He thumped the thick glass until his fists were red and bruised.
