A Debt in Time

Ancestral Debt Anthology, Book One

What if your family’s debt spanned centuries—and the only way to pay it off was by saving lives in the past?

James Manning is stuck in a dead-end job, barely scraping by—until a mysterious chest rips him out of the present and drops him into the heart of history. Thrust into a centuries-old curse, James becomes an unwilling time traveler tasked with saving lives across the ages to repay an ancestral debt.

From medieval Scotland to WWII dogfights, from pirate ships to ancient Celtic magic, James must face ruthless enemies, forge unlikely alliances, and uncover the truth behind a forgotten deal between his bloodline and the witches of Ireland.

But the hardest part? Believing he’s worthy of the journey fate has chosen for him.

A Debt in Time is a fast-paced, emotionally rich adventure about family, legacy, and finding courage when it matters most. Perfect for fans of Outlander, The Time Traveler’s Wife, and Percy Jackson, this is Book One of the Ancestral Debt Anthology.
