The Book on the Edge of Forever

The Edge of Forever

In 2013, sixteen-year-old Alora is having blackouts. Each time she wakes up in a different place with no idea how she got there. The one thing she is certain of? Someone is following her. In 2146, seventeen-year-old Bridger is one of a small number of people born with the ability to travel to the past. While on a routine school time trip, he sees the last person he expected—his dead father. The strangest part is that, according to the Department of Temporal Affairs, his father was never assigned to be in that time. Bridger’s even more stunned when he learns that his by-the-book father was there to break the most important rule of time travel—to prevent someone’s murder. And that someone is named Alora. Determined to discover why his father wanted to help a “ghost,” Bridger illegally shifts to 2013 and, along with Alora, races to solve the mystery surrounding her past and her connection to his father before the DTA finds him. If he can stop Alora’s death without altering the timeline, maybe he can save his father too.

The Edge of Forever

Can love survive when life pulls you in different directions? In The Edge of Forever, John Ndayisaba weaves a breathtaking story of first love, dreams, and the bittersweet ache of change. Gabriel and Laira's connection was once as natural as the river that ran through their quiet village. Childhood friends turned soulmates, they shared stolen glances, whispered promises, and the easy trust that came with lives intertwined by familiarity. But when Laira is awarded a scholarship to the distant city, their worlds are thrown into turmoil. Letters are exchanged, filled with longing and hope — but as ambitions rise and new experiences reshape them, the space between them widens. Gabriel clings to memories of the life they once knew, while Laira navigates a future filled with dazzling possibilities — and impossible choices. Tender, nostalgic, and profoundly moving, The Edge of Forever explores the fragile spaces between people, the ways love can transform, and the courage it takes to face the unknown. This isn't just a story of love; it's a meditation on growing up, letting go, and finding yourself on the other side of change. If you've ever loved deeply, lost quietly, or wondered whether hearts can find each other again after life has reshaped them, this novel will stay with you long after the last page. Perfect for fans of Sally Rooney, Taylor Jenkins Reid, and Rainbow Rowell.
