Doran West can travel through the ages. But so can his enemies...
Welcome to the one-street village of Linntean in the Scottish Highlands. Itās great for tourists, less so for local teenager Doran West. He and his best friend Zander crave a change of scenery, some excitement. What they have in mind is a weekend away to the nearest city. Fate has a little more in store.
An accident while fleeing school bullies leads Doran to an extraordinary discovery: he can travel in time. Whatās more, he isnāt alone. There are others who share his gifts, hiding in plain sight and tied to a shadowy organization called the Eternalisium. With Zander in tow, he embarks on a terrifying odyssey through the ages, risking death on the gallows and battlefield, contending with ruthless enemies from the future and learning more than heād like about his own adult self.
Mind-bending, thrilling and funny, The Rebel of Time bounces from Robert the Bruceās Bannockburn to Leonardo Da Vinciās Tuscany, with stops in Hollywood and the First World War trenches, in a spellbinding adventure from a masterful new storyteller.
