Rating & Review

4 out of 5

This was an absolutely captivating story. The characters had a wonderful depth, and the time travel was unique and handled well. I loved following first Azur, and then Hilma as they dealt with each obstacle thrown in their path, both internal and external. Once I started reading, I was reluctant to set it down, so be sure you set aside a few hours before you crack open this book. If you’re looking for a unique story with strong leads, then you’d found your next read.

Excerpt

The train rumbled through the night, calling out seductively to Sensointuitives as it drew ever closer to the slumbering town of Providence Crossing. 

While still in the distance, Steam Engine 330 sent several short blasts into the crisp October night, warning anything in its path to clear the tracks. Soon thereafter, it announced its approach to the station in standard railway code, two long, haunting whistles followed by a final short one. 

The ghostly sound sent shivers down the spines of the handful of people waiting on the station platform. 

An hour earlier, Azur Moonstorey had been lost in dreamless sleep mercifully induced by her vigilant grandmother’s herbal tea. Sleeping in an adjacent upstairs bedroom, her friend, Dillian Witherton, was similarly somnolent due to the aromatic brew. 

The women’s duffle bags had been carefully packed and their clothing laid out in readiness for a journey to the past. Stretch pants, layered tops, waist bags, walking boots. Mavis had worked into the late evening creating flowing skirts with side slits that extended almost to the waist bands. 

“They’ll look like regular Victorian ladies at first glance – but they won’t be hampered by restrictive clothing,” Mavis told Bram.

At half-past-eleven, she gently shook the pair awake. “It’s time,” she told them.
