 Honoré and Emily, in the meantime, have to come to terms with their remarkable ability to travel in time.Emily's ability as a "Time Channeller" — the "pilot" that allows her and Honoré to travel in time — was not mentioned in "The Cabinet of Light".The author of that novella, Daniel O'Mahony, has stated on onlines forums that this is because the concept was introduced by Telos after the novella had been published to prevent the "Time Hunter" series from being stuck in the 1950s.
