    About this ebook

    Introducing The Lights of Time, the debut novel by award-winning author Paul Ian Cross. Loved by book bloggers and readers alike for its unique take on the time travel genre, the novel has been described as 'page-turning literary sci-fi that keeps you guessing' by bestselling author Karen Inglis.

    Would you sacrifice your future to save your past?

    Engella Rhys is alone, adrift and on the run. Pursued by a secret agency, known only as the Hunters, she must stay ahead to stay alive.

    As she travels through space-time using dangerously experimental technology, she only has one wish: to be reunited with her lost parents. After a close shave with a Hunter on the streets of New Shanghai, Engella escapes to find herself on a deserted beach. When she meets a kind stranger, who offers her food and shelter, Engella feels safe and protected for the first time in years.

    But who is this woman? And why did their paths cross at the most convenient of times?

    Engella soon discovers their lives are intertwined in more ways than she could ever imagine.

    If you're a fan of science fiction action and adventure, The Lights of Time is the book for you.
