Eternity in Three Acts

Eternity in Three Acts is an incredible adult epic fantasy debut set in an Asian-inspired world where time is collapsing. Battle, sacrifice, and peril unfold on a journey unlike any other in Ann Sei Lin’s unforgettable novel.

A dying god. A collapsing world. The fate of time lies in their hands.

The god of time is dying, and the world is unravelling with his every, laboured breath. There is only one solution: a new god, to replace the old. An idea so blasphemous it is punishable by death.

Shion is the chosen candidate. He has known no life but the one chosen for him. At once a sacrificial lamb and divine successor, he has no time for dreams, no space for love. Then he meets Junyu, a charismatic player carving out a new life on the stage. Once a Ferrier, carrying sacrifices across the sea, he is the only one who can help Shion reach his goal.

But first the two men will have to brave time-warped landscapes, wild beast, and perilous seas, all the while evading the Hourglass Temple’s notice. And as they journey, Junyu awakens something in Shion he was never meant to feel.

To save the world, Shion must die, and Junyu must bear the burden of letting him go. It can only end in tragedy…

• "Ann Sei Lin weaves an achingly lovely story of connection into a grim and desolate, time-twisting landscape. Eternity in Three Acts is vivid and visceral,  full of yearning – a journey well worth taking!"
