Storm Portal

In a near-future London, a secret government ministry undertakes a radical experiment: plucking individuals from history and transplanting them into the 21st century. Tasked with easing the transition for Commander Graham Gore, a stoic officer from the doomed 1845 Franklin expedition, a pragmatic civil servant becomes his "bridge" to the bewildering modern world of washing machines, Spotify, and the fallen British Empire.

But as Gore acclimates with surprising ease, a forbidden intimacy blossoms between them, defying centuries and protocol. Their connection deepens even as the Ministry's true, potentially catastrophic agenda comes to light. Torn between duty and desire, she must confront the ethical implications of tampering with time itself. Can their love rewrite history, or will it unravel the future?

A dazzling blend of romance, spy thriller, and speculative fiction, The Ministry of Time explores the weight of the past, the seductive nature of power, and the transformative possibilities of love against all odds. Kaliane Bradley's unforgettable debut asks: What does it mean to defy history when history is living in your house—and in your heart?
