Epoch (The Hourglass Saga #1)

Mirielle Townsend worked hard to earn her job as an archivist at the prestigious Museum of
Natural History after growing up as the neglected daughter of a drug addict. Her only sense of
family came from, Mr. Cooper, a grandfatherly neighbor who cared for her in her mother’s
absence. When tragedy strikes and Mr. Cooper disappears from his apartment, Mirielle is
determined to find him, even when it puts her back on the radar of her childhood bully, Barrett
Collins, who has now been promoted to detective with the NYPD.

As Mirielle examines the only clue she can find, a beast named Gryphon transports her to the
world of Aeternitas, a magical place where time and space meet. A prophecy has Gryphon
desperately searching through history for the missing treasure to break the curse plaguing his
castle. Along the way, Mirielle discovers the world as she knows it is not what it seems, and a
beast like Gryphon might be more than just a monster.

When Aeternitas’ enemy tries to overthrow her newfound home and friends, Mirielle joins forces
with Gryphon to save them all. Her heart becomes entangled along the way, but breaking the
curse is only the first step…
