In the Grip of Time

A musical gnome, an orphaned princess and a powerful mage all desperately seek the Ancient Device, but who will get to it first?

Sawwse Bohge, a wispy-haired, restless gnome, dreams of running away from her Blue Forest home and becoming the greatest musician in the land.

Mirrah, one of the world’s most powerful wizards, finds a magical relic said to bestow the user with control over time. The relic is cursed with a spell that starts to erode her mind.

The King of Dorienne is cruelly murdered, and his daughter, Princess Eugenie, would do anything to turn back the clock.

As Mirrah and Eugenie do battle for the Ancient Device, Sawwse joins forces with the Actum Tempus guild. All three are clutched within the grip of time, but as the Device pulls them deeper into its deadly snare, the fate of the world hangs in the balance.

This gripping novel is the first book in The Actum Tempus Saga.
