The Lost Imperials series is a YA steampunk time travel adventure co-authored by Sherry Ficklin and Tyler H. Jolley. Extracted (2013) introduces a world where time travel is real and two rival factions fight to control it. Prodigal (2015) and Riven (2015) continue the conflict, raising the stakes as the characters’ actions ripple through the timeline.
The series mixes steampunk aesthetics with time travel mechanics, setting its battles across multiple historical periods. The collaboration between Ficklin and Jolley gives the series a different energy from Ficklin’s solo work.
