Timelocked

Time is her gift.

Time is her curse.

And it’s running out.

Sixteen-year-old Elara has lived her whole life in Chronmere, a quiet town cut off from the magical world by ancient design. Here, magic is forbidden—forgotten, even. But when her mother falls gravely ill and no medicine can help, Elara uncovers a secret she was never meant to know: she can manipulate time itself.

Desperate to save her mother, Elara plunges into the forbidden art of time magic. Each reset takes her back, giving her another chance—but with every loop, the world begins to shift in strange and unpredictable ways. Fractured memories. Unseen consequences. Shadows of herself she can’t explain. And through it all, Maren—her mother—grows weaker.

With the help of a defiant friend, an ancient library of lost magic, and a mysterious magical city that shouldn’t exist, Elara must confront the truth: some timelines weren’t meant to be rewritten. And some fates demand a price.

Gripping, lyrical, and emotionally charged, Timelocked is the first book in a breathtaking new fantasy series about love, loss, and the limits of power.

When time becomes a weapon, how far would you go to save the one you love?
