The Timekeeper's Compass: A Novel of Adventure, Time Travel, and Self-Discovery
The Timekeeper's Compass
A Time-Travel Adventure About History, Courage, and the Power of Being Different
Eleven-year-old Liam Chen has always felt out of place in a world obsessed with screens and selfies. But when he discovers a mysterious brass compass hidden among his late grandfather's belongings, his life is turned upside down. The moment Liam touches it, the compass awakens - glowing with ancient symbols and humming with strange energy. He's just been chosen as the next Timekeeper, protector of the timeline itself.
Swept into the past, Liam's first stop is 1943 France - where he meets his grandfather as a teenage resistance fighter helping Jewish families escape the Nazis. But something is terribly wrong. History is being rewritten by the Chronos Collective, a group of rogue time travelers who believe they can create a perfect world by erasing humanity's darkest moments.
Guided by Eldric, a wise and ancient Timekeeper, Liam must journey through pivotal moments in history - from medieval markets to the burning streets of London in 1666, to the aftermath of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Along the way, he discovers that pain and progress are woven together - and that even the worst chapters of history carry lessons the world must never forget.
But the biggest twist comes when Liam faces the leader of the Collective: a future version of himself, broken by time and determined to wipe suffering from the past - no matter the cost.
Can Liam protect the past, preserve the future, and find the courage to embrace who he truly is?
Perfect for fans of A Wrinkle in Time, Percy Jackson, and The Chronicles of Narnia, The Timekeeper's Compass is a thrilling time-travel adventure that explores the value of imperfection, the strength in being different, and the legacy we leave behind.
