THE ARCHIVE WAKES

A chronically ill bookbinder. A living Archive outside time. A forgotten love that may be the key to saving everything.

Aeris Fenlow has spent her life binding books and quietly preparing to die.

Her illness has no cure. No name. Only a steady unraveling that has kept her small in a village already too willing to look away. But when a sealed book arrives bearing the sigil of the Keepers of Time, the world Aeris understands begins to fracture.

Drawn beyond Hallowmere and into a hidden Archive where time is not fixed and memory is power, Aeris discovers the truth her body has been carrying all along.

Her illness is not weakness.

It is inheritance.

It is magic.

And someone has gone to great lengths to make sure she never remembers why.

Inside the Archive, Aeris finds more than answers. She finds Rowan, a man who knows her with a grief she cannot explain and a tenderness she does not remember earning. He remembers what she has lost. He remembers what was taken. And he may be the one person she was never meant to lose again.

But the Archive is not safe.

A secret order is rewriting the past, erasing truths, and tightening its control over time itself. As past and present begin to collapse, Aeris stands at the center of a power far older than she knows, with a choice that could save the future or break what little remains of the past.

To remember the truth, she may have to risk everything.

Even him.

The Archive Wakes is Book One in The Keepers of Time, a lush fantasy series for readers who love living libraries, time magic, stolen memories, ancient secrets, slow-burn connection, family legacy, and heroines whose power was hidden inside the thing the world misunderstood..
