Short Description

The Spire is a 67,000 word young adult (13+) time slip/time travel adventure.

School-leaver Alice mysteriously slips into Victorian age Preston, a town she only knows from the dystopian future…

Alice unconsciously seeks a way to escape dystopian Britain in 2075. However, when she decides to become an outlaw, she finds herself mysteriously transferred to Victorian times and becomes friends with Irish priest John O’Brien who advocates for the working class poor in the midst of the Lancashire cotton famine. Her journey to the past continues into Tudor times. After experiencing the horrific persecution under the reign of King Henry VIII and discovering her new soulmate, Wilfrid, Alice steps through a mysterious portal to an unknown future, uncertain if they will ever meet again.

The Spire is…

  • a fascinating blend of history, fiction and faith
  • a story about friendship at its most extreme and challenging moments
  • a story about bravery, heroism and martyrdom
  • a story about freedom, life, death and beyond
  • a clash of past and future worlds
  • gripping time travel
  • a gentle romance

"The Spire is a good and enjoyable story with some lovely scenes... A journey through time, visiting scenes in Preston's Catholic history and warning of our possible dystopian future. Zieba has a fertile imagination." (Sr. M.E.)
