The Cottage at the Edge of Time - Paperback

by Simon Mennell (Author)

Some places break us. Some carry us somewhere we never expected to go.

After losing the life he loved, Graham Jones escapes to a forgotten cottage perched on the Cornish cliffs, a place he hopes will give him silence, distance, and a chance to breathe again. But in the dust beneath its floorboards, he finds something that should not exist: a gold coin, untouched by time, glowing as if it remembers more than it should.

The moment Graham touches it, the world shifts.

He wakes in 1789 with a name that is not his, surrounded by people who greet him as though they have known him all their lives. Caught in a life he does not remember and a century he does not understand, Graham must learn to navigate a world where loyalty is a currency and danger waits on every darkened shore.

At the center of it all is Eliza, fierce, sharp-witted, and the determined leader of a covert smuggling network along the Cornish coast. She is nothing like the life he lost, yet somehow she feels unavoidably familiar. As the tides of London, the shadows of Paris, and the secrets of Michael's past close in, Eliza becomes the one steady light he trusts and the person he is terrified to lose.

To everyone around him, he is Michael.

If Graham wants to return home, or decide whether he truly wants to, he must unravel the truth that binds these two lives together and the woman whose presence feels like destiny calling him across centuries.

A story of love, loss, identity, and the strange turns of fate, The Cottage at the Edge of Time asks:

If time carried you into another life and another heart, would you follow it?
