For years, Alexander Castor has used his time-traveling ability to outrun his enemies, staying one step ahead and keeping his secrets buried in the past. Trust is a luxury he can’t afford. And relationships? Yeah, they're a dangerous liability. But when his best friend, the Aether, sends him on a mission with Josie Stephens, a fiercely independent witch with a gift for unraveling truths, his carefully constructed walls start to crack. The Authority is hunting him. The future is uncertain. And the only constant is the woman he was never supposed to fall for. Perfect for fans of Darynda Jones, Ilona Andrews, and Deborah Harkness—The Traveler delivers sizzling slow-burn romance, high-stakes magic, and a time-bending adventure that refuses to let go.
