We Were Time’s Mistake

In 2145, the edge of the galaxy is humanity’s final frontier—and the edge of sanity.

Seventeen-year-old engineering prodigy Skyen Onyx never asked to become the center of a temporal war. Living aboard Eos-9, a remote space station orbiting the black hole Virex Prime, Skyen quietly works on a project no one was supposed to discover: the Temporal Reactor—a device that bends black hole energy to open time itself.

But when her invention glitches, reality snaps.

Time loops. Memories blur. Friends vanish and reappear. And the worst part? Every loop ends with the same chilling truth: someone else has found the Reactor too—and they’re using it first.

Now hunted by Adrian Voss, the ruthless CEO of ChronoDyne, and caught in an unraveling cosmic event known as the Great Convergence, Skyen teams up with the only people who still remember the original timeline: Cassie, whose dreams seem to predict reality; Ethan, who carries the scars of a death that never happened; and Mira, who might not even be from this loop.

As timelines bleed and betrayal cuts deep, Skyen must confront a devastating question:
What if she wasn’t meant to survive this?

For fans of Aurora Rising, The Infinity Courts, and These Broken Stars, We Were Time’s Mistake is a heart-racing YA sci-fi thriller about friendship, identity, and the gravity of choices made at the end of time.
