1. Ravensdale by Davrielle
In 2012, Dora Harding finds and purchases a desk in her best friend's New York antique shop. Later that evening, she discovers an old letter in one of the cabinets. She doesn't expect to find something like it, nor does she expect to see that the letter is addressed to her. It's from 1912.
2. The Time Traveller's Choice by sennalily
One moment, Emma Scott is in her college room in 2015, and the next she's in 1921 falling in love with an ex-soldier with a charming smile and a secret... Emma's an old hand at time travel: the first time she was pulled backwards she was ten years old. She can sense the memories that stone, fabric and wood have soaked up: usually she just sees them, but sometimes she ends up living them. She knows the drill: (1) avoid getting pulled backwards in the first place; (2) avoid the object that's pulled you backwards; (3) prevent the memory that imprints on the object, or, if all that fails, (4) wait it out until you're back in the right time. The problem is that the object was an old ring that her Granny Alice bequeathed to her, and Emma last saw it on the finger of her great grandmother, fleeing into a crowded London street. Now Emma is trying to find the ring and go back to her own time, but her great grandmother has vanished, and meanwhile there's Charlie Lawrence who's making Emma wonder if she even wants to go back at all...
3. Athanasius by KMoncho
The Petrakis name is well known around the world. But Athanasius Petrakis isn’t. In the year 2016, his name has been lost through time and he is known only as the banished Petrakis family member. In the year 1104, he is known as The Cursed Prince who has been exiled from and denied his birthright in Greece. He is on a quest for vengeance with his powerful army aboard one of his most prized possessions, his ship The Ariadne. The name was given him in a dream. He returns home from a battle, and while he is speaking to his best friend and right hand man Erastus, a portal of sorts appears in the room. Both men welcome it, seeing it as a new adventure wherever it would lead them. Straight to the year 2016. Ariadne Hertz is the daughter of world famous and legendary inventor, Konrad Hertz. She is a shy girl who is despised by her elder sister Kalliope and overlooked by her mother Eugeneia. Only her brother Sebastian and father give her the time of day. When Konrad tells her and Sebastian that he has a new invention to show them, the last thing they expected was for Konrad to tell them that he’s cracked time travel. He sends them on a trip back to the past as a test, and they’re successful. Except for the woman who travelled back with them. Ariadne didn’t know it then, but the woman would prove to be a miniscule problem in comparison to the Grecian Prince who her brother accidentally sent into her life. Little did she know that she would have to make the toughest decision of her life- live in the present and forget about Athanasius, or return with him to a past life she knows nothing about and help him reclaim what is his?
4. Fumes Variola by jessicaelarsen
To save the future, they must fight something they can’t see or touch. Audrey is a thirty-five-year-old witch who decided to go back in time to change the future and stop her best friend Nova from being possessed by Fumes Variola, a mysterious black smoke that feeds on the negative energy of all life forms, turning them into evil beings. Audrey failed on her first try, and that failure resulted in her death. With the help of her younger self, however, she was able to save Gretchen, Nova's daughter. Now, with the help of Nikephoros, a playful wood sprite, it's up to Gretchen to change the past. But what could she do? Other than making potions, she has no power that will enable her to save or fight her mother.
5. Amendment by HannahMAdams
Josie didn't even want to go to her brother's Civil War reenactment--let alone dress up for it. But going to the bathroom while wearing a hoop skirt is the least of her worries. Somehow, she and Russ get thrown back into time.....which would be cool if it wasn't in 1882, and if they hadn't gotten separated on their trip back........and if Josie hadn't found herself in the middle of a feud. Now, stuck in the Hatfield household, she's got to find a way to get to her missing brother without offending the frightening Devil Anse or his suspicious uncle Jim Vance. She's got five days to stay with the Hatfields before Election Day, an event she's told no one can miss. Maybe, just maybe, she'll be reunited with Russ. And maybe she would've gone home, too, if she hadn't found herself completely swoony over Cap Hatfield.
