You can’t outrun Time… unless you steal it.
Dive into The Keeper Chronicles, starting with The Time Thief.
Imagine a world where everyone is born knowing the exact moment they will die.
A world where, at birth, everyone is randomly assigned a clock, pre-wound and counting down to their final immutable, unquestioned, and absolute second. For most, it’s an unchangeable fate. For a privileged few, it’s an opportunity.
With less than a year left on hers, Mia has already made peace with the inevitable. At least until a violent encounter fractures everything she thought she understood, revealing a possibility that should not exist: that Time can be stolen.
Mia finds herself working alongside two Keeper brothers, sworn guardians of the order of Time. Quinn is steady, composed, and bound to the rules that hold their world together. Miles is sharp, defiant, and far more willing to defy them. Drawn between their clashing orbits, Mia begins to question everything she was raised to believe, down to the very Time she has left.
But as truths surface, so does something far more perilous: a love that was never meant to take root. Shaped by grief, divided by loyalty, and shadowed by the knowledge of being doomed from the start, it becomes a bond as fated as it is fragile.
Set in a richly imagined steampunk world inspired by the glamour and grit of the 1940s, The Time Thief is a romantic, clockwork-fueled tale of stolen futures, fractured loyalties, and the fleeting, fragile beauty of Time—and those we choose to spend it with.
Amber Lynn is a storyteller with a deep love for immersive worlds, sharp dialogue, and characters who feel a little too real. With over a decade of writing and editorial experience, her work blends emotional depth with high-stakes tension—often exploring themes of grief, the non-absoluteness of morality, and the fragile, messy nature of human connection.
She proudly grew up in Butte, Montana—a “Butte Rat” at heart—where a rugged, hard-edged sense of place helped shape her creative voice. That influence carries into her debut duology, The Keeper Chronicles, which is set against Butte’s gritty and unique backdrop.
Outside fiction, Amber is a multidisciplinary artist and the creator behind Always the Adventure, a sustainability-focused art studio built on the idea of using what already exists. Working primarily with upcycled materials, she transforms retired climbing rope, secondhand textiles, and natural elements into one-of-a-kind décor and functional pieces.
In her free time, Amber gravitates toward slower, hands-on pursuits, like tending gardens, riding horses, and wrangling a flock of lovable (and often chaotic) quail. She’s always drawn to the imperfect, the lively, and the quietly rewarding rhythms of crafting an unconventional life by hand.
