Time is the most fluid medium in the universe; humans are its most replaceable element.
The Thirteenth Month by Elizabeth Hunter is now live!
There are rules for traveling: A mage must never go forward. Keep the secrets of the order in all times. And never, ever travel during the thirteenth month.
Born into a powerful mage family, Narine Anahid Khoren is a time traveler whose life is constantly in flux. Since committing to the order of the Seba Segal at fourteen, she's spent her life traveling through history, trying to make a difference and sacrificing her life in the present for one jumping through the past.
But while the world in 2071 has moved forward, the ancient order of the Seba Segel have become ever more archaic. The secret sect founded by astronomer priests has passed its magic to thousands of generations, perfecting the secrets of divination and time travel, while also amassing power, influence, and riches.
Change is on the horizon, and some in the order would do anything to stop it from coming. When one of the highest laws of mage travel is broken in the thirteenth month, Narine, her friends, and one unsuspecting professor will have to scour history to set the timeline right.
The Thirteenth Month is the first book in the Seba Segel series, an all-new time travel fantasy series by ten-time USA Today bestseller, Elizabeth Hunter, author of the Elemental Mysteries and the Irin Chronicles.

I adore this author. She has written some of my favorite paranormal books. The blurb for this one seemed so unique and fresh to me. I knew I had to read it. This book falls into so many categories-it can't help but interest many readers. We get time travel, alternate history, dystopian future, magic users, some suspense and intrigue--oh, and there is a love story embedded in there as well.
As with the start of any new series, there is some tediousness around the world building. You will need to power through that. I struggled with determining if the language and the place names where real or made up. It would through me out of my reading vibe every time a new to me word popped up. The first half of the book was slow going for me because of that. I set it down a few times to take a break.
That said, the second half of the book was fantastic! Lots of action. All the intrigue came in to play. Secrets were revealed. Lots to love about the story! the MC Narine is fabulous! She is a bright light in whatever time she is in. I loved all the characters in the present/future timeline. I cant wait to catch up with them.
The book does not necessarily end. Not a cliff hanger but you know there is more to tell. I look forward to visiting this world again.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
