A NOVELLA FROM A. TRAE MCMAKEN:

When Sam discovers an abandoned village where the laws of time and space play tricks and the world itself conspires against him, it seems there can be no escape unless he delves into the mystery at the foundation of the Timberlost — and his own identity. With an eccentric archivist feeding him clues and a maniacal dragon seeking to settle an old feud, the stakes are higher than he imagined. The battle approaches for the soul of the village and all the worlds beyond.
