In this, the final installment of THE HOURGLASS DOOR trilogy, Abby has gone through the hourglass door in an attempt to heal the river and undo Zo's dangerous changes to her past and protect her future.

Once she reaches the river, Abby discovers there's more at stake than just her future. Zo is undoing the river, and with it time and the world as Abby knew it. If she doesn't stop him, there won't be anything to go back to.

Abby travels into Dante's time in an attempt to close the time loop and save the river and the world, but Zo isn't about to let her stop him.

From THE HOURGLASS DOOR to THE GOLDEN SPIRAL, and now THE FORGOTTEN LOCKET, Mangum takes us on a thrilling jaunt through time. Though the characters in this installment have memory lapses, my memory of Mangum's characters and world have never faltered.

I can't recommend these books enough. The only bad part about this novel is the fact that it ended, and with it ends Abby and Dante's story. I'll miss not reading about them in future tales, but I'm comforted knowing I can pick up THE HOURGLASS DOOR and start the journey all over again . . . and close the time loop in my own way.
