Set in a universe where time is a resource “ coveted and exploited, the key to power and privilege “ comes a dazzlingly inventive sci-fi fantasy romance by a bestselling Irish author.
'Skipshock isn't just a book. It is, literally, a new world to dive into, and one so exquisitely conjured that you feel you live there for a while. A suspenseful, romantic, charming and really unique tale.' “ Matt HaigMargo is on a train to a new boarding school when she slips into another dimension, passing from the height of Irish summer into the chill of an alien winter, from a 24-hour day to one that begins and ends in just six hours. From a stranger on the train “ a travelling salesman by the name of Moon “ she learns that New Davia is part of a world scarred by uprisings, travel bans and world sealings. Power is determined by time “ who has it, who doesn't, and who has the freedom to travel between time zones.
Can Margo find a way to get back home “ or will she choose to stay in a world where her teenagehood is slipping away faster than ever before, but where she may have found the only person with whom she would choose to spend eternity?
