Description
Fifteen year-old Tobias Doljan, a Walker trained to travel through time, is called to serve at the court of Daerjen. The sovereign, Mearlan IV, wants him to Walk back fourteen years, to prevent a devastating war which will destroy all of Islevale. Even though the journey will double Tobias' age, he agrees. But he arrives to discover Mearlan has already been assassinated, and his court destroyed. The only survivor is the infant princess, Sofya. Still a boy inside his newly adult body, Tobias must find a way to protect the princess from assassins, and build himself a future... in the past.

Advance Praise
“A fast-paced tale whose fascinating magic system twists and turns the story in unexpected directions. Now I’m waiting for book two!”
– Kate Elliott, author of Cold Magic and Black Wolves
“A very intricate tale with some excellent characterizations. It has many strengths and pure readability – I really enjoyed it.”
– Anne McCaffrey
“Thieftaker is a gripping mystery, full of magic, and human emotion, that just happens to be set in 1765. Pre-Revolutionary War America has never been so exciting. How exciting? I missed my bus stop because I was reading this book. The level of historical detail makes it seem totally plausible that thieftakers and conjurers were active in Boston in 1765. What I particularly enjoyed was that the history didn’t slow the story down, it just enriched it.”
– Mary Robinette Kowal, author of Shades of Milk and Honey
“War and politics, love and magic, all drawn in detail against a vividly imagined feudal background. A complex and excellent book.”
– David Drake

A new fantasy series by the author of the Thieftaker series (which I really enjoyed).
One thing that stood out for me: the fact that this is both a science fiction novel (time-travel) and a secondary-world fantasy novel. Haven't seen that mix before, and it certainly made this novel stand out.
Jackson is a very good writer, and his characters are well-drawn and quite engaging. The world-building is well-done, too. Some of the dynamics/science is a little strange, but Jackson does a good job of making it work.
An intriguing novel, and one that made me keen to read more by the author.
