Book • 2017

Saya telah menjadi yatim piatu pada waktu saya. Garis waktu telah berubah. Masa depanku hilang. Etta Spencer tidak tahu bahwa dia adalah seorang musafir sampai hari dia muncul bermil-mil dan bertahun-tahun dari rumahnya. Sekarang, dirampok dari benda kuat yang merupakan satu-satunya harapannya untuk menyelamatkan ibunya, Etta menemukan dirinya terdampar sekali lagi, terputus dari Nicholas-private abad kedelapan belas yang dia cintai-dan waktu alaminya. Ketika, Etta secara tidak sengaja tersandung ke jantung Duri, para musafir pemberontak yang mencuri astrolabe darinya, dia bersumpah untuk menyelesaikan apa yang dia mulai dan menghancurkan astrolabe sekali dan untuk selamanya. Sebaliknya, dia dibutakan oleh wahyu bom dari pemimpin mereka, Henry Hemlock: dia adalah ayahnya. Tiba-tiba mempertanyakan semua yang dia perjuangkan, Etta harus memilih jalan, yang bisa mengubah masa depannya. Masih hancur oleh hilangnya Etta, Nicholas telah meminta bantuan Sophia Ironwood yang tidak mungkin dan seorang tentara bayaran yang disewa untuk melacak dia dan astrolabe yang hilang. Tetapi ketika getaran perubahan pada garis waktu semakin kuat dan taruhannya untuk memulihkan gunung astrolabe, mereka menemukan kekuatan kuno yang jauh lebih menakutkan daripada para pelancong saingan yang saat ini terkunci dalam pertempuran untuk mendapatkan kendali, kekuatan yang mengancam untuk menghapus garis waktu sama sekali.
