During one such episode when Anna was twelve, her mother took a fatal tumble down the stairs.

In a world where history took a different path after a pivotal 17th-century battle, historian Oskar Sobieski makes a shocking discovery: the reality he knows—a technologically advanced Eastern European nation that never lost its sovereignty—was never supposed to exist.

Researchers investigating these timeline anomalies are mysteriously dying, thrusting Oskar and the enigmatic diplomat Marie-Claire Poniatowska into a dangerous conspiracy.

As the barriers between realities thin, Oskar faces an impossible choice: which version of history deserves to survive?
