The Hollow Between Worlds. Max Sterling Adventures, #5

A broken core. A haunted forest. A fight through time itself. Stranded in 14th-century England after a catastrophic collapse, Max Sterling, Chloe, and Nick are left with nothing but scraps of a shattered timefold core-and no way home. Their search for answers pulls them into the heart of Sherwood Forest, where whispered legends hide darker truths. and something unnatural hunts between the trees. There they find Robert of Locksley and his band of outlaws-archers, rebels, fugitives of the crown.
But the king's men are the least of their fears. Through fractured seams in time stalk the Blightborn-twisted creatures of shadow-and the spectral riders who command them. To survive, Max must attempt the impossible: repair the broken core using only the tools of the Middle Ages. No tech. No shortcuts. Just raw ingenuity, outlaw allies, and a desperate plan to breach a fortress before time itself is lost.
Even escape carries no promise of safety. A final rift awaits-one leading to a forgotten island where old ghosts rise and the truth behind their mission will finally be revealed. The Hollow Between Worlds is a pulse-pounding fusion of time travel, history, and rising dread-perfect for fans of Rick Riordan, Jonathan Stroud, and Margaret Peterson Haddix.
