I’ll Find You Where the Timeline Ends

As a Descendant of a Japanese dragon god, Mina and others like her are tasked with protecting the flow of time, a duty that requires they be “liars and guardians of secrets.” Upon moving to Seoul at 18 with her doting parents, who are overworked and barely home, Mina’s sole focus is to rise in the Descendant ranks, hoping to gain access to classified information and uncover why her older sister, Hana, was erased from the timeline—a punishment reserved for only the worst of traitors—and, more importantly, how to get her back. While attempting to balance her training with schoolwork, she encounters teenage Yejun, a rogue Descendant. Though his cuteness snares her attention, his words are ominous: “If I never see you again, then in fifty years, the world will end.” Teaming up to seek Hana, the duo undergo illegal time hops to alter reality in ways that defy the Descendant’s code, and soon, Mina realizes that something sinister is brewing within the organization. Mina and Yejun’s zinging chemistry propels both the fast-paced romance and time-leaping plot. Evocative descriptions of Seoul and its dazzling array of foods leap off the page as Mina embarks on an emotional journey strengthened by her familial bonds. Ages 13–up. Agent: Mary C. Moore, Aevitas Creative. (Nov.)
