Rosa Hyde is the daughter of a time-traveller, stuck in the year 1945. Forced to live through it again, and again, and again. All she has ever wanted is to be free from that year
and from the family who keep her there. She breaks out at last and falls through time, slipping from one century to another, unable to choose where she goes. And she is not alone. Wandering with her is Tommy Rust, time-gypsy and daredevil, certain in his heart of hearts that he will live forever. Over time they meet others. Their journeys take them from the ancient shores of forming continents and to the bright lights of future cities. They tell themselves that they need no kind of home. That they are anything but lost. But then comes Harding, the soldier who has fought for a thousand years, and everything changes. Could Harding hold the key to staying in one place, one time? Or will the centuries continue to slip through Rosa’s fingers, as the tides take her further and further away from everything she has grown to love? AUTHOR: S. E. Lister grew up in Gloucestershire, and studied Creative Writing at Warwick University. She has been reading stories since she was old enough to pick up a book, and writing them almost as long. Alongside her fiction, she writes about philosophy and film for various magazines and websites. SELLING POINTS: . Gorgeous writing, an epic, time-travelling romance, a complex heroine… . Hideous Creatures was well reviewed, shortlisted for the Edinburgh Book Festival First Book Award, and is selling strongly. . For readers of Audrey Niffenegger, Erin Morgenstern . Huge potential market
