Echo works as a healer’s assistant in Ancient Athens, embroiled in dangerous politics and wild philosophy. Hazel is the last human alive, in a laboratory on a polluted island with nothing but tiny robots and an untrustworthy AI for company.

Both women suffer from amnesia, but when they fall asleep, their consciousnesses transcend time and they meet in their dreams. Together, they start to uncover their past – but soon discover the past threatens humanity’s survival.

If Echo and Hazel have a chance of changing the future, they must remember to forget…

Critic reviews

“I ripped through The Forest on the Edge of Time. Incisive and thoughtful sci-fi packed with emotion, urgency, and hope for a better future. A stellar achievement.” —Nicholas Binge, author of Ascension and Extremity

“Magical, melancholic, and moving. A wonderful debut, infused with reflection and hope in the face of tragedy” —Antony Johnston, author of Atomic Blonde

Unique, wonderful mix of historical events, present time and fantastical future

Excellent narration. I love a book that is different and new. not another variation of other books. Really creative and well written. Book flew by. I feel like I was in ancient Athens, completely absorbed in the story. Ancient Anthens was juxtaposed with future that seems to be a mix of science fiction and fantancy. l enjoyed going back and forth. This is book about a dystopian world dying from climate change and attepts to improve the world in the future with time travel. highly recommended.
