The beginning of the story sees Jules leave her father for Everless, an estate she hasn’t been back to in many years. Her decisions have the power to change her fate-and the fate of time itself. Soon she’s caught in a tangle of violent secrets and finds her heart torn between two people she thought she’d never see again. When Jules discovers that her father is dying, she knows that she must return to Everless to earn more time for him before she loses him forever.īut going back to Everless brings more danger-and temptation-than Jules could have ever imagined. A decade ago, she and her father were servants at Everless, the Gerlings’ palatial estate, until a fateful accident forced them to flee in the dead of night. No one resents the Gerlings more than Jules Ember. The rich aristocracy, like the Gerlings, tax the poor to the hilt, extending their own lives by centuries. In the kingdom of Sempera, time is currency-extracted from blood, bound to iron, and consumed to add time to one’s own lifespan. Thanks to Hachette Children’s Group for this opportunity. I received a copy of Everless from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
