With rebellions rising and the Inquisition marching towards England, the stakes are higher than ever for the Atlic Syndicate’s runners. Their target is 16-year-old Lady Jane Grey, one of history’s most tragic figures. When Stassi and the gang arrive, Jane has just begun her ill-fated reign as Queen of England.

How long does it take for "astounding" to become "normal"? Three weeks after returning from her last mission, Stassi 2446-89 is finally ready to move on from the events in Paris, with one exception: the hitchhiker, Charles DuPree. Now living on Branson Isle and training to become the Atlic Syndicate’s newest Runner, Charles must adjust to life 500 years in the future before he can travel the timewaves into the past. But when it's time for a training run in 2465 Manhattan, a ghost from her past makes Stassi question everything.

Today has been the strangest day of my life. I know, that sounds like the dramatic ramblings of a 17-year-old girl, but it’s the absolute truth. Until today, I was an orphan, an uneducated ward of the government with no employment prospects on her horizon. But as of today, at least one of those is no longer true.

After narrowly escaping the Tower of London, Stassi, Charles, Molly, and Gaige travel from England of 1553 to New Orleans of 1919. With nothing more than an address to go on, they start their search for Edward and Richard, the two English princes once imprisoned in very same Tower room where the foursome nearly lost their lives. But like all things involving time travel, finding answers isn't that simple. Instead of the princes, Stassi and the gang find the dynamic Elizebeth Werlein. Fearless and progressive, Elizebeth has never shied away from danger or intrigue.

I'm called Sapphire to those that would bring about death and evil to an otherwise peaceful domain. It is a name that has earned me a modicum of respect and a hell of a lot of enemies. I know this shit. It's what I crave. Tonight's enemy better be cooperative. I'm really not in the mood to play around. Princess Arabella Gwin has a secret that she's been keeping from the members of her council and the inhabitants of her kingdom.
