History lies; the tyrant was betrayed.

Archaeologist Maya Bennett slices her palm on a bronze hourglass and wakes inside Cassian Vale, a monarch history brands a despot, seconds before his execution. She finds a court rotting with traitors and Caldrin's armies massing at Veyra's borders, proving the tyrant narrative a convenient lie. Each fresh blood contact with the artifact yanks her across centuries, letting her steer Cassian's body alongside allies Lyra, Seraphine, and the wary commander Rowan. But saving him rewrites the future. Maya returns to a modern Veyra still trapped in a seven-hundred-year war and discovers she now holds the Prime Minister's office. To restore the timeline, she must dive back into the past, halt the conflict, and face the real Cassian before the fractured chronology hardens forever.
