Summary
1896. Prodigy healer Sebastian Sallow has always believed he could achieve the impossible: save his sister. The obscure writings of a seventeenth-century mediwizard were meant to uncover a cure for her mysterious illness… not tear open the fabric of time itself.
One misstep hurls him into the year 2025. Disoriented and unmoored, Sebastian finds himself crossing paths with a reclusive antiquarian whose guarded demeanor and unreadable gaze unsettle him in ways he doesn’t fully understand—and it’s both inevitable and profoundly unwise that he lets their closeness grow unchecked.
As Sebastian navigates this new century in search of a way home, moving through questions without answers and a tightening web of truths and lies, he discovers a world far more dangerous and alluring than he ever imagined. And as the lines between duty and desire blur, he starts to realize that leaving—or staying—may demand a sacrifice far greater than he is prepared to make.

Summary
“Am I distracting you?”
“Your fault for looking like that. I can always go back to my book if it bothers you.”
Ominis slowly pushed himself up, leaning back on his arms, and tilted his head—knowing Sebastian would get lost in the sinuous line of his exposed neck.
“Don’t even think about it.”A beach day with the friend group doesn’t exactly go as planned—in all the best (and worst) ways.

Summary
The kingdom, the throne, the palace—he no longer remembered what they even looked like. He no longer remembered what it felt like to lie on a soft bed, beneath lush curtains and the comfort of oil lamps. He no longer remembered the pleasure of feasts, spiced wine, or the company of noble-born youths of the island—they had all sailed with him, bound for Troy.
Six hundred men, twelve ships, one man leading them. Their king.
And of six hundred men and twelve ships, only one man had returned to Ithaca’s sacred shores. A wanderer with no story and no name.

Summary
“Stop— please— I didn’t— I didn’t mean to—”
Sebastian’s chest tightened painfully.
If he ever found the Gaunts, he’d murdered them without a second thought.
“Careful with the steps!” Professor Weasley alerted.
Ominis let out a scream as they were hoisting him up the stairs.
“You’re okay,” Sebastian encouraged, over and over. “You’re okay. You’re not there. You’re with me, Ominis. We are at Hogwarts, remember? It’ll be okay…”
Another wave ripped through Ominis, and he screamed even louder — a sound so raw it made even Imelda flinch.
“Merlin,” she breathed. “What did they do to him?”

Summary
Waking up this morning and recalling the events of the previous night, Sebastian realised three things.
Firstly, that side hug really hadn’t been innocent — Isaac had clearly been interested in Ominis; Sebastian hadn’t imagined it.
Secondly — and this was the most important point — Ominis clearly hadn’t been interested in Isaac, but rather in waiting for Sebastian with two glasses taken from the bar counter.
And thirdly, Sebastian was sick.
