Thief of Hours

By Elara Vale

In a kingdom where time is currency, one thief will risk eternity for love.

Kaela has spent her life stealing years from the powerful and selling them to the dying - until the night a heist goes wrong and she crosses paths with Dorian, the crown prince bound to the clockwork heart of the kingdom.

Beneath the marble towers and gilded salons of the Noon Court, time itself is unraveling. The ancient Sleeper who keeps the world's rhythm is stirring, and every stolen second pushes the realm closer to collapse. To save her sister's fading life, Kaela must join forces with the very man she was meant to destroy and confront the truth that the kingdom's most precious resource is built on human souls.

As rebellion brews and the boundaries of time begin to fracture, Kaela and Dorian must decide how much they're willing to lose and what kind of future can be born from the ashes of stolen hours.

Lush, romantic, and deeply human, Thief of Hours is a luminous debut about memory, morality, and the fragile beauty of the moments that define us.
