Aftwend
Imagine you could go back and live your life again, knowing everything you know now. Now imagine you had no say in it, and the people you love were the price.
Peter Twill doesn't have to imagine. He was twenty-four when he buried his best friend. Then an old man at the funeral pressed a brass lighter into his hand, and Peter woke up eight years old, on the morning Charli Ashby moved in across the road.
Growing up is hard enough the first time. Peter has to do it twice, making the same best friend a second time while carrying the grief of a funeral that hasn't happened yet.
What Peter doesn't know is that he was born into a secret war, one that came here from another world. On one side are those sworn to protect people like him. On the other are those who hunt them. Almost everyone around him is keeping a secret, and some of the people watching over him are not what they seem.
And the closer Peter and Charli get to twenty-four, the age Charli died the first time, the harder the choices become.
Aftwend is the first book of a seven-book science fiction saga about time and friendship, with coming of age at its heart. It begins with two boys and the hardest question a friendship can ask: what are you willing to sacrifice for the ones you love most?
