In the Shadow of Eternity: The Town Without Tomorrow

By: Arno Schikowsky

What if the stranger in your dreams remembered you, too?

By day, Grace repairs old books in her aunt Nora's workshop. At night, she dreams of a flooded tower and a man she misses long after waking. Then Lucian, a young clockmaker, arrives with drawings of that same tower. He has dreamed of it, too.

A silver amulet left by Grace's grandmother opens a passage to St. Vey, a seaside town trapped on November 18, 1891. The calendar never changes. Shadows steal people's time, and memories begin to disappear. Twelve-year-old Milo is searching for his mother.

Grace and Lucian set out to help him. Their search takes them through a train station in the past, a snowbound library, and a future beginning to fade. But someone is holding the past in place-and is willing to sacrifice everyone else's future.

To bring Milo's mother home, Grace and Lucian must uncover what holds the town captive-and why they remember places they have never visited. As the passages between times begin to break apart, their first meeting feels increasingly like a reunion.

A time-travel fantasy with a gently told love story, moments of humor, and ten black-and-white illustrations. For readers ages twelve and up.
