THE TEMPUS GLASS: Book Three of the Timepiece Series
Elena Maria Fernandez Lozano was never meant to live an ordinary life. As a daring spy for the Union Army, her secret gifts turned the tide of battle and secured victory at Gettysburg. Yet her rare powers couldn't shield her twin sons-or her beloved husband-from the tragedy of war. As her world shattered, Elena's only hope lay in the ancient Tempus Glass, a mysterious relic that allows its bearer to walk through time itself. But every attempt she made to change their fates failed, leaving her stranded in the scorching Arizona desert-in the year 1922.
As Elena struggles to reclaim her life in a time not her own, the Tempus Glass is wrenched from her hands by a merciless mob boss who recognizes its worth. Now, powerless and fifty-eight years from her past, Elena faces a lifetime of exile-until a stranger emerges, a man whose own connection to the fabric of time rekindles her hope.
Fast-forward to the year 2030, Elena and Dr. Bodhi McMullin have defied time and circumstance to find each other again and rekindle their timeless love. But their reunion is short-lived, as the appearance of a dark figure from Bodhi's past threatens not only their happiness but the very structure of reality. Bearing the final piece of a triad of relics-the Mariner's Compass-the stranger sets a ruthless plan in motion, seizing the Tempus Glass and the Timepiece and sending time spiraling out of control.
To prevent a cataclysmic collapse of reality, Elena and Bodhi embark on a high-stakes pursuit across eras and realms to reclaim the stolen relics. As they uncover the secrets behind these ancient artifacts, they realize they must solve the ultimate mystery-the very origins of the relics themselves. They must gamble everything they have to unravel a mystery that could either restore order or destroy every timeline, every future, and every love story-including their own.
