The Book of Lost Hours

(Author: Hayley Gelfuso)

A sweeping, cinematic historical fantasy that blends Cold War tension, magical time-bending libraries, and a heart-rending romance.

Nuremberg, 1938. As the threat of the Nazi regime closes in, Lisavet Levy’s watchmaker father saves her life by pushing her through a mysterious, hidden doorway. She emerges into the Time Space—a vast, magical realm where every human memory ever created is preserved within the pages of millions of books. Though her father promises to follow, he never appears.

Trapped within this boundless sanctuary, Lisavet encounters the mysterious Timekeepers, who hold the ultimate power to decide which human memories are preserved and which are permanently erased from history. Determined to protect forgotten lives, Lisavet covertly works to rescue doomed memories. But when she falls in love with one of the Timekeepers, her actions spark a chain reaction that threatens to rewrite the entire course of human history.

Breathtaking, unputdownable, and emotionally resonant, The Book of Lost Hours is an astounding debut that will captivate readers from the very first page.
