The fabric of Time is wearing thin. Soon the walls of reality that separate our world from those that surround it will fall away. Then the hidden echoes of our past – mythical monsters, creatures of nightmare and barbarian hordes – will crash through and lay waste to our world. In the City of Time, the clocks of creation are running down. Tholocus, Clockmaster of Eternity, and his grand council must avert this disaster. But how? Time is literally running out. The future of the world must be recreated, rewritten by new visionaries. No-one in Bendran has these powers. Tholocus must send his Waymasters through the Doorcracks on a perilous journey to bring back two prophets from Earth: Denso Alburton, creator of fictional worlds; and Mya Capthorne, environmental scientist. Meanwhile, in our world, the cracks in reality are already beginning to appear – plagues of frogs, sightings of strange beats…even dragons in the sky…Cover art by Geoff Taylor.
