Time has its own will.

For readers of Emily St. John Mandel, V.E. Schwab, and Alix E. Harrow, Time is a Door is a sweeping, aching novel filled with parallel worlds, doomed love, and the agonizing question of destiny.

Eliza is gone. Trapped in a shattered pocket of time with the woman who betrayed her, she wanders through collapsing realities, where nothing can remain and silence swallows everything. In Epoch—a town carved outside of worlds—Alden, her former mentor, searches for a way to bring her back, even if it means unraveling the fabric of existence.

Now, Alden will risk everything, but Eliza is exploring her prison, and the longer she stays lost, the more the future slips out of reach. As tensions rise and grief festers, those left behind struggle to hold Epoch together, especially as things come undone.

Time is a Door is a lyrical, genre-defiant tale of love and regret, threaded with yearning, rebellion, and the eternal question: what is the right path?

This is the second and final installment in the Doyen Series.
