The Time Box series consists of five books published across 2020 and 2021: The Lane Betrayal, The Fair, Sea Spray, The Refuge, and Crown City. The series uses a mysterious time-traveling device as its central plot element, sending characters to various points in American history.
Heldt wrote the entire series within two years, giving it a momentum that keeps readers moving from one installment to the next. Each book explores a different historical setting while maintaining the thread of the time box itself, which connects the stories and provides a framework for the characters’ displacements in time.
