Becca wakes in a hospital room, her memories fractured and her past a locked vault. A single trinket—a mysterious ring with a hidden secret—offers a fleeting connection to her lost life. As she clutches this relic, Becca uncovers a chilling truth: her family’s tragic history is entangled with a Nazi scientist’s obsession with time travel and an alien message buried in a German crater at a war-torn concentration camp. Becca’s quest to reclaim her identity leads her to the discovery of time bubbles—shimmering portals powered by the enigmatic alien technology. Scientific experiments with alien neural engrams could destroy Becca’s mind—or unleash a catastrophic time loop. Trinkets is a gripping sci-fi thriller that weaves memory, loss, and redemption into a tapestry of time travel and historical reckoning. Perfect for fans of The Time Traveler’s Wife and Cloud Atlas , this debut novel by Darren Bosik explores how the smallest objects hold the key to our past—and the link to our future.
