Into the Hourglass

Written by Emily R. King

Narrated by Lauren Ezzo

In the second book in The Evermore Chronicles by Emily R. King, Everley Donovan plunges into the roiling waves of a strange new world to hunt a wicked prince who cheated time.

Everley Donovan’s mission: retrieve the hallowed sword of Avelyn stolen by the wicked Prince Killian, who slayed her family and left her for dead. Should she fail, the seven worlds will come to an end, as could time itself. And no one treasures time more than Everley, whose lifesaving clock heart cannot beat forever. She has set sail with a rogue crew for the otherworlds, where the key to dethroning the prince lies deep within the Land Under the Wave.

But passage through these unknown seas—where horrors lurk and pirates rove—proves a treacherous gamble. The Land Under the Wave was not made for humans, particularly one with a fragile clock heart. Here, Everley’s tragic past resurfaces unsolved questions. Here, too, the prince has hidden secrets more precious than pearls, secrets that could fracture the future forevermore. Everley must take back her sword and break free from this watery world before her time runs out…or so will everyone else’s.

Reviews for Into the Hourglass

[Giada Vancini · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A nice story and all the references to classic fairy tales is well done in my opinion.

[Thao Pham · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The narrator is really screeching and yelling most of the time. It’s worse than the first book. The main couple is too trusting, it’s ridiculous. I mean seriously, every time they let H goes…

[Rebecca · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I enjoyed the story and the world that the characters exist in. I think I'd continue the series if I had the visual endurance to read, but as it is, I simply cannot tolerate the voice actor/narrator anymore. It sincerely feels as though the main character is yelling at everyone, even in quiet moments, and yes, even with my volume turned way down.
