Part Three of The Roads to Moscow 
 
The war for time is reaching its end 
 
As the German and Russian forces seek to destroy a third, seemingly unstoppable faction, Otto Behr reluctantly finds himself at the centre of all timelines, his very existence the catalyst by which reality itself will be reset or destroyed. 
 
But for Otto, the battle to become the Master of Time has become a fight for family, love and reality itself...

The Master of Time

Roads to Moscow: Book Three

Robert Dinsdale

An enchanting, magical novel set in a mysterious toyshop - perfect for fans of Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus, Stephanie Garber's Caraval and Jessie Burton's The Miniaturist. 
 
The Christmas Emporium opens with the first sign of frost . . . 
 
It is 1917, and while war wages across Europe, in the heart of London, there is a place of hope and enchantment. 
 
The Emporium sells toys that capture the imagination of children and adults alike: patchwork dogs that seem alive, toy boxes that are bigger on the inside, soldiers that can fight battles of their own. Into this family business comes young Cathy Wray, running away from a shameful past. The Emporium takes her in, makes her one of its own. 
 
But Cathy is about to discover that the Emporium has secrets of its own . . .
