""The Archivist is the best debut novel I've read in years, a page turner with a fresh and original take on time travel, and all the mystery and romance a reader could want."" - George R. R. Martin, author of A Song of Ice and Fire series

""The Archivist is the best debut novel I’ve read in years, a page turner with a fresh and original take on time travel, and all the mystery and romance a reader could want."" — George R. R. Martin, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author ""An endearing protagonist, a touching – sometimes steamy - love story, a cast of entertaining friends and devious foes, with threads of mystery, hidden family secrets, an international organization of scientists, and a unique take on time travel… I’m stunned at how much Ti Mikkel weaves together in this wonderful debut. Two things are certain: The Archivist is a lot of fun, and it’s the start of a series I want to read more of!"" — David Anthony Durham, author of The Acacia Trilogy ""A breakout thriller packed with huge characters—fast and sexy and so, so smart."" — Lev Grossman, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author ""In The Archivist, Ti Mikkel spins a sparkling tale of adventure, intrigue and romance. Her quiet but expressive prose places the reader in the middle of the story, taking us to exotic places while keeping the story grounded in the world. Her protagonist Cora is relatable and real, the friend you want to have and cheer along. When you think you’ve discovered all there is to know, the twist makes us excited about what is to come. Do yourself a favor, read this book!"" — Andrea McNair, author of Corvus and The Broken God (Fall 2026)
