A grandfather’s secret. A creepy photograph. A magical orphanage frozen in time. Meet your new weird obsession.
After 16-year-old Jacob Portman’s grandfather dies under bizarre circumstances, Jacob hunts for truth in a Welsh orphanage his granpa once called home. Yet what he finds is even stranger: kids who float, wield fire, bloom flowers, and bend seemingly impossible rules—all trapped in the same day, over and over.
But paradise isn’t safe. Dark, monstrous creatures known as Hollows are lurking just outside the time loop. And only Jacob, who has inherited a rare ability, might be the key to saving them all.
Expect:
-
Eerie vintage photos that chill you more than words
-
Time-bending fantasy meets found-family magic
-
Monsters, heroism, and a heart that beats even outside the loop
📖 Condition: Gently used trade paperback. Bright cover, clean interior. Feels like you just rescued a dusty antique—and it rescued you right back.
