”A strong literary fantasy novel about race, family, and time-traveling.” — IndependentBookReview.com
Amara knows what’s going to happen, but she doesn’t know why. She awakes on her wedding day in 1859 in West Africa, suddenly imbued with the ability to see the future. In visions, she sees the slaver Van Owen, who will try to steal her power. She sees herself as a slave on his North Carolina plantation. She sees a Harlem family more than a century in the future. She knows these people, but how? And she sees Van Owen — somehow still alive in the 21st Century — hunting them, too. But how can she stop him if no one believes her?

Author Bio:
R.B. Woodstone is a writer, educator, and musician from New York City.
R.B. is fascinated by stories that blend fantasy and history. With Chains of Time, one of his primary goals was to create Black heroes whose unusual abilities allow them to establish a connection between past and present. He respects that some people are uncomfortable with white authors writing Black characters, but he believes that white Americans must explore and address the ramifications of slavery, one of America’s original sins. He is drawn to write these stories, some of which are seen best through the eyes of Black characters. To that end, R.B. strives to create Black protagonists who exist for their own sake and not as machinery to facilitate the emergence of white protagonists.
Half of the proceeds from this novel will be donated to Equal Justice Initiative.
R.B. is currently working on several novels including Time in Chains, the first sequel to Chains of Time. He is also writing a rock musical based on Dante’s Inferno.
