The Mender: Book 1 of The Mender Trilogy

By Jennifer Marchman

Mend time... or face annihilation.

Eva is good at what she does, reuniting divergent timelines with the only true one: hers.

But if she fails, the Elders will hunt her down to be thrown into the Abyss, her soul erased for all eternity.

Now, she's injured and stuck in 1835 Texas, months too early and miles away from her mission.

Jim, a white man raised by Comanches, is in no position to help her. Exiled to his farm, he is already hated by the People and misunderstood by his Anglo neighbors.

The last thing he needs is a mysterious woman on his property. If the whites know he's got an unmarried woman at his place, they'll never accept him.

And he'll never escape his shameful past.

With a little rest, Jim hopes she'll recover and then be on her way.

Which is fine by Eva. He may be handsome, but long ago, she swore herself to a life of celibacy. Only spiritually pure Menders can time travel.

Besides, according to Eva's beliefs, Jim's not even a real person, just a shadow.

Eva's only concerns should be to survive revolutionary Texas with her cover intact, assassinate her target, erase this alternate timeline (along with Jim and everything in it), and return home before the Elders realize something went wrong.

But as Eva's love for Jim grows and tensions with the white community intensify, Eva will find it harder to ignore the truth: Jim might be real.

And he's in more danger than she is.

Each revelation will have her questioning her loyalty to the Elders, the nature of reality, and even her soul's entire purpose.

Her whole life may have been a lie. Does time really need saving?

Or does time need saving from her?
