Margo is on a train when she slips into another dimension, passing from the
height of Irish summer into the chill of an alien winter, from a 24-hour day to
one that begins and ends in just six hours. From a stranger on the train – a
travelling salesman by the name of Moon – she learns that New Davia is part of
a world scarred by uprisings, travel bans and world sealings. Power is
determined by time – who has it, who doesn’t, and who has the freedom to travel
between time zones.
Can Margo find a way to get back home – or will she choose to stay in a world
where her youth is slipping away faster than ever before, but where she may
have found the only person with whom she would choose to spend eternity?
