In The Time Weaver, a young drákon woman discovers she possesses a unique gift, one that brings her closer to her destined love--at the cost of their very lives. Honor Carlisle may have been born into the drákon clan but she's always felt like a stranger to her kin. It's an intuition that proves true when she receives a mysterious letter--a letter sent by her future self. Honor learns she is a Time Weaver: a creature with the extraordinary ability to transport herself into the past or future. But the letter contains a dire warning. If Honor remains in her home at Darkfrith, she is certain to be killed. Fleeing for sanctuary among old friends in Spain, she practices her Weaving and unknowingly draws closer to an even more immediate danger. For on one of her Weaves into the future, Honor encounters the very man she should most avoid: the prince of a rival tribe of drákon. Drawn to Prince Alexandru of Zaharen, Honor is unable to resist the temptation of Weaving to him again and again across time. As they surrender to a desire that brings the present and future ever closer, they realize they are true soulmates. But they also risk fulfilling a terrible prophecy--for their union is destined to wreak havoc. Now Honor and Sandu must place their trust--and their lives--in each other's hands, and their faith in a magical love that could restore order to the drákon universe--or destroy it forever.From the Hardcover edition.

The Time of New Weather: A Novel
by Sean MurphyTHE TIME OF NEW WEATHER IS AT HAND-AND IT'S NOT A PRETTY SIGHT.In this exhilarating adventure of absurdist wit, rollicking revolution and romance, the future isn't what it used to be and the past won't leave us alone. Bringing to mind1984 and Brave New World-but with his own twist of gleeful humor-award-winning author Sean Murphy presents a vision of an America gone off the rails: an America where it literally rains cats and dogs, where a hubcap ranch is now a National Preservation Site, where a horde of circus folk and Elvis fans are on the rampage-and where some rather suspicious things are going on with time and gravity.Into this world is born Buddy Le Blanc, a young boy with a special gift: the ability to perform tiny miracles. Nothing big, like raising the dead or curing the sick-more like an uncanny knack for finding spare change. He longs to find a way to make a difference; but in a world where time and gravity storms can spring up at a moment's notice (sending your belongings hurtling through the roof, or off to the Renaissance) and big business has gobbled up the U. S. government (now renamed The America Corporation), it's hard to get your foot in the door.But when Buddy joins up with a cast of fellow seekers-renegade circus freaks, ragtag revolutionaries, a woman in search of her hat, and a particularly gorgeous journalist-in the hope of waking America up from its dream, the fate of the country may just end up in his not-so-capable hands....
