History was never meant to be touched. When Mason Hill acquires the long-abandoned Blackmere Castle, he expects solitude and restoration-not a fate that rips him from the modern world and casts him into the violence of 1644 England, at the height of the English Civil War. Stranded in a brutal past where loyalty is fragile and survival is uncertain, Mason must adapt quickly or perish. Amid the bloodshed, he forms an unexpected bond with a woman whose courage and compassion stand in stark contrast to the cruelty of war. Their growing connection becomes both his anchor-and his greatest vulnerability. As Mason's presence begins to ripple through history, a mysterious force watches from the shadows, intent on preserving the natural order of time. Caught between love, war, and destiny itself, Mason must choose whether survival is enough-or whether some things are worth risking the future to protect. The Keeper of Time is a sweeping historical time-travel novel of fate, sacrifice, and the dangerous cost of altering what was never meant to be changed.
