However, I thought the skyline on the front looked a little too much like the palace in Aladdin. ![]() The hourglass was very fitting and I like the buzz line. I had never seen a story where years of life were a form of currency. The main concept of this book was what drew me in. Her decisions have the power to change her fate-and the fate of time itself.

When Jules discovers that her father is dying, she knows that she must return to Everless to earn more time for him before she loses him forever.īut going back to Everless brings more danger-and temptation-than Jules could have ever imagined. A decade ago, she and her father were servants at Everless, the Gerlings’ palatial estate, until a fateful accident forced them to flee in the dead of night. No one resents the Gerlings more than Jules Ember. ![]() The rich aristocracy, like the Gerlings, tax the poor to the hilt, extending their own lives by centuries. In the kingdom of Sempera, time is currency-extracted from blood, bound to iron, and consumed to add time to one’s own lifespan. Picture from my Instagram – follow me books_over_everything ![]()
