Read the opening of The Year Before the Rain

Two boys go into the past. Only one comes home.

The first three chapters — a stray dog, a roadside shrine, an old woman's warning, and the afternoon two boys stopped being able to go home. It stops inside the crossing itself.

If it grabs you

There is a way home. It isn't free. They took something from a creature that couldn't fight back, and now each of them, separately, will be asked to give something back to someone who can't fight back either.

"The door isn't a door. It's a debt."
