It’s 1919. Matty returns home to the family farm from the trenches only to find his brother Arthur dying of an unknown illness. The local doctor thinks cancer, but Matty becomes convinced it’s connected to the mysterious books his brother left strewn around the house.
Rob knows something other than just Arthur’s death is bothering Matty. He’s known him for years and been in love with him just as long. And when he finds something that looks like a gate, a glowing, terrifying doorway to the unknown, it all starts to fall in to place.
Matty’s looking sicker and sicker in the same way Arthur did. What is Rob prepared to sacrifice to save him?
The answer is in the esoteric books…and with the mysterious Lin of the Frem, who lives beyond the gate to nowhere. It’s taken Matty and Rob a decade and a war to admit they have feelings for each other and they are determined that neither social expectations or magical illness will part them now.
A stand-alone 35k novella introducing the Lost in Time Universe.

Good story, loved the audio performance.
This is the first book I’ve ready by A. L. Lester and the first audiobook performed by Callum Hale. I really enjoyed the story and I loved Callum Hale’s performance. I found his voice very compelling to listen to and he really brought the story to life for me.
I have to admit that this isn’t my normal type of MM book. I do enjoy historical MM and paranormal MM romance but haven’t read any books that combine the two the way this story did. The characters were interesting and the story was well done. I was intrigued enough by it to want to read more of this series.
