Lenora WindrowLenora has always believed that midnight holds more secrets than any other hour-a conviction that began the night she discovered her grandmother's pocket watch running backward in an old jewelry box. Growing up in a Victorian house where doorways nevr quite led where you expected and mirrors sometimes reflected rooms that didn't exist, Lenora learned early that the world contains far more magic than most people dare to imagine. She spent her childhood reading by flashlight under blankets, convinced that if she found the right book at the right moment, she might slip through its pages into another world entirely. Today, Lenora lives with her family in a house overflowing with books, where wind chimes sing in languages that aren't quite human and her garden grows flowers that bloom only under moonlight. She collects antique keys that don't fit any known locks, owns three cats who appear and disappear at will, and makes the world's best cinnamon tea-though she can never remember the exact recipe twice. When she's not crafting tales of time magic and parallel realms, Lenora can be found exploring abandoned buildings (strictly legally, of course), teaching her daughter that the best adventures begin with "what if," and adding to her collection of hourglasses that definitely aren't portals to other dimensions. The Forgotten Hourglass marks the beginning of The Hourborn Legacy, a seven-book journey that explores what happens when time itself becomes elastic and the boundaries between worlds grow thin. Lenora promises that while each book will answer some mysteries, it will pose even more intriguing questions-because the most magical stories are the ones that keep you wondering long after the final page.

After all, time may flow in one direction for most-but for those who know where to look, there are always hidden currents waiting to be discovered. Read More Read Less
