The Lights of Time
Engella Rhys is alone, adrift and on the run. Pursued by a secret agency, known only as the Hunters,
she must stay ahead to stay alive.
As she travels through space-time using dangerously experimental technology, she only has one wish:
to be reunited with her lost parents. After a close shave with a Hunter on the streets of New Shanghai,
Engella escapes to find herself on a deserted beach. When she meets a kind stranger, who offers her
food and shelter, Engella feels safe and protected for the first time in years.
But who is this woman? And why did their paths cross at the most convenient of times?
Engella soon discovers their lives are intertwined in more ways than she could ever imagine.

The Lights of Time: The Chronicles of Engella Rhys Book I by Paul Ian Cross
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
::..Reviewed for Red's Midnight Readers..::
I was very kindly offered an ARC in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. I have given The Lights of Time 3 stars.
I had never heard of this author but this book had a rather interesting blurb and I knew I just had to give it ago.
This story is an action packed, time travelling adventure. It's full of secrets that start to unravel as Engella digs deeper into her own past. This is quite a complex story with great world building and intriguing characters.
Definitely a good start to a new series.
