More Than Time

A decision can be shared. Its consequences cannot.

She has demanded the right to leave. He goes with her into a reality where bodies can be altered, memories taken, and even the room around them no longer obeys familiar rules.

Behind them, an invisible fleet prepares to move. Entire systems face a choice between promised protection and surrender. Their journey reaches between a war among the stars and a power beyond ordinary reality, but the question at its heart remains personal: who has the right to decide what another person should become?

Love does not make that question easier. Neither does the wish to protect someone. When the past can be preserved and the body changed, holding on to a person can become difficult to distinguish from holding power over them. A promise of safety is not enough if the person receiving it has no room to refuse.

More Than Time brings The Consent Chronicles to its conclusion through threatened worlds, dangerous encounters, and relationships tested by forces capable of changing the people within them. The scale is cosmic; the stakes are the lives that must still belong to those living them.

This final volume follows the trilogy's questions of memory, identity, and freedom to their most intimate point: what do we owe the people we love, and what must we leave for them to choose?

Book 3 of The Consent Chronicles. Read More Than the Past and More Than Power first.

Also by Alex Newman: MANGO, a romantic suspense novel about loss, stolen identities, and dangerous second chances.
