Overview

The clock in the village of Thornwick strikes midnight backward. When twelve-year-old Eliza awakens to find silver threads glowing in her clothes and whispers calling from the forbidden temple ruins, she knows this is no ordinary night. The voice belongs to her mother-seven years after she vanished without explanation. In a secret chamber beneath ancient stones, Eliza discovers a golden hourglass with sands that defy gravity and pulse with starlight. When her fingers touch its surface, visions flood her mind-three realms in danger, a prophecy waiting to be fulfilled, and shadows hungry to break through. But Lord Blackwell has sensed the Timepiece awakening. With eyes like bottomless voids and fingers that stretch like living darkness, he corners Eliza in the ruins. As he approaches, reality fractures around him-revealing that the human faces in her village are masks worn by something hollow and ancient. ""The Timekeeper's daughter,"" he whispers. ""At last."" Fleeing through the Standing Stones portal, Eliza emerges in a breathtaking City of Glass beneath three moons. Here she meets Ash, a silver-eyed boy who recognizes what she truly is: the child of two bloodlines that were never meant to cross-Timekeeper and Velazine guardian. As shadows pursue her across the Twilight Realm and time itself begins to fracture, Eliza races to locate the remaining Timepieces before the barriers between worlds collapse completely. With each passing hour, the prison holding the Hollowlords weakens. The prophecy warns: ""When the three are united, the veil will part. When the child of two bloodlines comes, a choice must be made."" But no one told Eliza what waits beyond that veil-or that time itself has teeth. Book One in the spellbinding Hourborn Legacy series, where one girl's choice will echo across past, present, and future, determining the fate of three magical realms forever.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Author Information

Lenora has always believed that midnight holds more secrets than any other hour-a conviction that began the night she discovered her grandmother's pocket watch running backward in an old jewelry box. Growing up in a Victorian house where doorways never quite led where you expected and mirrors sometimes reflected rooms that didn't exist, Lenora learned early that the world contains far more magic than most people dare to imagine. She spent her childhood reading by flashlight under blankets, convinced that if she found the right book at the right moment, she might slip through its pages into another world entirely. Today, Lenora lives with her family in a house overflowing with books, where wind chimes sing in languages that aren't quite human and her garden grows flowers that bloom only under moonlight. She collects antique keys that don't fit any known locks, owns three cats who appear and disappear at will, and makes the world's best cinnamon tea-though she can never remember the exact recipe twice. When she's not crafting tales of time magic and parallel realms, Lenora can be found exploring abandoned buildings (strictly legally, of course), teaching her daughter that the best adventures begin with ""what if,"" and adding to her collection of hourglasses that definitely aren't portals to other dimensions. The Forgotten Hourglass marks the beginning of The Hourborn Legacy, a seven-book journey that explores what happens when time itself becomes elastic and the boundaries between worlds grow thin. Lenora promises that while each book will answer some mysteries, it will pose even more intriguing questions-because the most magical stories are the ones that keep you wondering long after the final page.

After all, time may flow in one direction for most-but for those who know where to look, there are always hidden currents waiting to be discovered.
