Skipshock

Set in a universe where time itself is power, Skipshock is a dazzling, genre-defying sci-fi fantasy romance and the first in a breathtaking new duology.

When troubled schoolgirl Margo boards a train to her new boarding school, she slips into another dimension, leaving behind the warmth of an Irish summer for the icy rush of a world where days can last weeks or mere hours, depending on which direction the train travels.

Here, time is currency. Slow worlds are wealthy and indulgent; fast worlds are brutal, dangerous, and short-lived. It’s a universe bound by uprisings, travel bans, and guarded borders, and survival depends on knowing how to navigate its shifting rhythms.

Margo’s only guide is Moon, a desperate traveling salesman whose fate becomes entwined with hers the moment she steps onto his train. To survive, she must learn to pass as one of them, but the deeper she ventures into Moon’s world, the faster her youth slips away. And as their connection intensifies, she begins to question not only who Moon really is, but who she is becoming.

Told through both Margo’s naïve eyes and Moon’s hardened perspective, Skipshock is a suspenseful, romantic, and utterly original tale that will change the way you think about love, time, and the fabric of the universe.
