Book Overview
The 4th book in the Aurora Award-winning Night's Edge series returns readers to a rich and atmospheric fantasy world
Perfect for readers of Charles de Lint, Naomi Novik, and Katherine Arden, A Shift of Time is a charming, heartwarming, hopeful fable
Summer has arrived in Marrowdell, but its wild magic is out of sorts. Bannan, returning from his sister's home in Vorkoun, steps through Jenn's special crossing to find the village has disappeared. Something is deeply wrong within the edge--and with the Verge. Soon the youngling dragon Imp returns from that magical realm with a dire message: turn-born are missing. Deep in the mines of Ansnor, turn-born are being trapped and killed. The rest are in hiding, as each crossing destabilizes the Verge, releasing chaos even the sei cannot control. Time is shifting. Bannan, caught between realms, must accept the help of an ancient power, feared by dragons and greater than sei, but at what cost? Jenn, meanwhile, rushes to Ansnor to find Bannan and fix what's breaking in the Verge, but she's in danger, too. For in the edge, those who hunt magic and those with gifts grow bold, and as the only turn-born filled with pearl and the magic of the sei, Jenn Nalynn is the greatest prize of all.
