The Tapestry of Time cover

In The Tapestry of Time, two sisters harness their unique abilities to confront Nazi forces during World War II, intertwining love and heroism in a gripping narrative.

In The Tapestry of Time, love, heroism, and the supernatural intertwine against the backdrop of war. The narrative follows the Sharp sisters, Kit and Ivy, as they navigate the complexities of their extraordinary abilities amidst the chaos of World War II. Kit, an archivist in Paris, is deeply involved in a romantic relationship with the captivating Evelyn Larsen while also delving into her father's theories about the Bayeux Tapestry. He believes that the tapestry holds secrets that extend beyond mere historical records, suggesting it may have been a tool for prediction.

As the Nazis become obsessed with the tapestry's potential to aid their invasion of Britain, the stakes rise dramatically. Kit's sister Ivy joins the Special Operations Executive, a covert unit dedicated to espionage and sabotage. With her remarkable powers of perception, Ivy is tasked with a critical mission in Northern France, where the fate of the Allies hangs in the balance. The Sharp sisters must confront not only the enemy forces but also the dark forces that seek to exploit their family's legacy.

With the war intensifying, the Sharp sisters are faced with perilous choices. Can their love and extraordinary gifts turn the tide against a formidable enemy? The Tapestry of Time weaves a compelling tale of bravery, sacrifice, and the enduring power of family bonds in the face of overwhelming odds.

Praise for The Tapestry of Time

'No one writes historical fantasy like Kate Heartfield and she is at the top of her game in The Tapestry of Time. While this WWII novel never shies away from the moral complexities of war, readers will cheer for the Sharp sisters as they each find their unique strengths, both mundane and fantastic, in the fight against fascism and to reunite and redefine their family. By the end, you’ll want to raise the V for victory in triumph'

M. Darusha Wehm, author of Hamlet, Prince of Robots and winner of the Sir Julius Vogel award

'Kate Heartfield’s The Tapestry of Time is a stunning book that perfectly marries a World War II story of resistance with the supernatural. It’s speculative historical fiction at its very best, and kept me turning pages late into the night'

Jenny Rae Rappaport, author of Girls With Needles and Frost

'The Tapestry of Time is a promise that love is stronger than hate and that families and communities are our strongest bastions. It celebrates the vital, but too often unsung, role that women played, and continue to play, in the fight against fascism. Kate Heartfield gets better with every single book and this one is simply terrific'

Hayden Trenholm, Aurora Award winning author of The Passion of Ivan Rodriguez

'Kate Heartfield's novels are personal favorites. This WWII thriller mixes psychic spies, four sisters, and the Bayeux Tapestry in surprisingly fiendish ways'
