An archaeologist pilots a tyrant's body to stop a war spanning seven centuries.
Maya Bennett bleeds onto a bronze hourglass and opens her eyes as Cassian Vale, the reviled monarch kneeling for the headsman. Official records call him a despot who ruined Veyra, yet the court hums with poison and Caldrin's legions mass at the border. Every fresh wound on the artifact snaps Maya between eras, letting her steer Cassian's voice and blade beside loyalist Lyra, scholar Seraphine, and the watchful commander Rowan. Survival rewrites the present into a Veyra still burning from endless war, where Maya now sits as Prime Minister. To mend the timeline she must dive back, halt the conflict, and face the true Cassian before the fracture hardens forever.
