Time Torn: Book One in the Time Torn Series
She was never meant to leave her own time. Now the future of Earth may depend on her.
In 2019, Catriona Logan is an ordinary young woman—until a temporal experiment from the distant future goes disastrously wrong and tears her from her own century.
She awakens on an Earth she barely a scorched wasteland where the remnants of humanity serve the feline-like Leontors in a brutal war against the reptilian Dracans. Victory seems impossible.
Until Catriona arrives.
Her twenty-first-century brainwaves are a priceless anomaly. Both alien races want what is locked inside her mind, and whoever gets to it first could change the course of the war—and the future of Earth itself.
Hunted, captured, and surrounded by people whose motives she cannot trust, Catriona must learn to survive in a civilization where nothing is familiar and time itself has been dangerously altered. Her only hope may lie in an unlikely ally—and in discovering that she is far more capable than anyone, including Catriona herself, imagined.
Fast-paced, character-driven science fiction filled with alien worlds, adventure, humor, danger, and a heroine thrown very far out of her time. Time Torn is the first novel in the Time Torn series.
“A fast-paced romp through an imaginative, wild world inhabited with memorable characters and a fearless, fiery heroine. Strap yourself in for a thrilling trip.”
