An archaeologist possesses a doomed king to stop a war that erased her future.
Maya Bennett's excavation accident binds her to Cassian Vale, a sovereign history brands a tyrant. She discovers the executioner's block masks a coup orchestrated from within while Caldrin's forces gather. A blood-activated hourglass shuttles her between eras, forcing shared occupancy of Cassian's form alongside his loyalists Lyra and Seraphine and the watchful commander Rowan. Each intervention in the past reshapes the present, ultimately stranding Maya in a modern Veyra still consumed by the ancient conflict — now as its Prime Minister. The paradox deepens: correcting the timeline requires confronting the real Cassian before the fracture becomes irreversible.
