An alien thief. A human genius. Which would you trust?

Kormèr Lezàl has a secret: a unique means to travel to any time, anywhere in the universe. But secrets have a price.
When trouble forces him to flee his home planet, Kormèr escapes to a distant and unfamiliar world. But what begins as a desperate flight soon becomes an extraordinary journey, filled with unexpected dangers, discoveries, and possibilities he could never have imagined.

Jeransy is a fierce British rose aching to escape the grim, cruel town she calls home. When Kormèr crosses her path, he brings the chance she's been waiting for. She seizes it without hesitation, knowing one thing for certain: she will never go back.

Bored with her predictable teenage life, Anndrew longs for something extraordinary. Opportunity arrives with a mysterious alien who promises her the adventure of a lifetime. But the adventure she craved may become a fight for survival.

Brilliant, driven and alone, Cecil is bullied at school and misunderstood by his family. When an unimaginable power falls into his hands, Cecil sees his chance to become something greater. And nothing-not his enemies, his family, nor the limits of his own humanity-will stand between him and greatness.

And if Kormèr Lezàl wants to take him back to Earth... well, Cecil's not going without a fight.
