The past is never really past—especially when memory, myth, and history collide.
In Dissolution, Nicholas Binge delivers a mind-bending technothriller about a woman who must enter her husband’s fading mind to uncover a secret buried deep in time. What begins as a personal quest becomes a race to stop reality itself from unraveling—because Stanley’s memories aren’t just vanishing... someone is erasing them.
Roisin Dunnett’s A Line You Have Traced is a sweeping, time-bending novel connecting three queer women across a century of East London. Linked by a red notebook and a mysterious presence, Bea, Kay, and Ess each face resistance, love, and hope in their own times—united by a legacy that could shape the future of the planet.
Esperance by Adam Oyebanji is a genre-blending thriller that spans oceans and centuries. When a detective investigates an impossible drowning, the clues lead to Abi—an enigmatic woman whose origins may stretch far beyond our own time. As truths about the Atlantic slave trade surface, questions of identity, legacy, and justice take center stage in this thrilling speculative mystery.
