BLURB:
Picture two
twelve-year-old fraternal twins who are like night and day. She is a smart and
highly organised MMA fighter. He’s not a fighter, he’s a lover of history, art
and Star Wars. Despite their differences they are one formidable team. Together
Anastasia and Edward Upston travel through time and navigate ancient
civilisations, angry gods and mythical monsters in their quest to protect the
integrity of human history.
About The Order of
Time
Anastasia and Edward
Upston are eleven year old twins who are different in almost every way. Despite
this they are inseparable and he best of friends. They tackle the highs and
lows of sixth grade together whether they are fending off bullies at the elite
Blake Academy or examining rare antiquities at the Smithsonian Museum of
Natural History. Then: life gets complicated.
Excerpts From The Order of
Time
Excerpt One:
They started
to leave when the room suddenly lit up with a strange purple light coming from
under a closet door.
“Why is the
closet glowing?” asked Edward, his voice trailing up an octave. “Maybe we
should get out of here.”
“What if Dr.
G’s in there? You know he always locks his door, but it was open tonight. Maybe
he’s still here. He might need our help,” Anastasia said emphatically.
The light was
getting brighter by the second. Now Edward could also hear a low humming noise.
“Stop being
crazy, Anastasia! This is the part in the movies where you yell at the screen
for the characters not to open the door. We are not going to open that door.”
“I’m not
being crazy. If Dr. G is in there and needs help, we’ll never forgive
ourselves.”
Edward looked
at her pleadingly, but she wasn’t giving in. His shoulders slumped in defeat.
Oh god, please don’t let there be a monster or anything really scary in there.
Anastasia dragged him over to the closet door. The light pouring out around the
cracks was incredibly bright and the humming was getting louder. She gripped
the large, brass doorknob, took a breath, and opened the door.

They discover that
their friend and mentor, Dr. Gregorian, is part of a secret society called the
Order of Time. It turns out that time is not fixed, it’s a fluid continuum
where changes to the past can create ripples all the way through to the
present. It unwittingly falls to the twins to travel back through time to
ancient Egypt where they must overcome deadly assassins, evil high priests and
vengeful gods in order to prevent disaster. Together Anastasia and Edward must
navigate all obstacles to preserve the past and find their way back home.
About The Order of
Time and Odin’s Door The orange light bathed the snow-covered fields as the
fiery globe began to dip below the horizon. It was strange that something so
beautiful could signal the arrival of something so evil. One thing
twelve-year-old twins Anastasia and Edward Upston knew for sure was that when
mortals were caught between two bickering gods nothing good would come of it.
Surviving the Viking Age may be the hardest thing they ever do, if they can…
