Seattle, 1913
Dorothy is trapped. Forced to wed a wealthy man so she and her mother can live comfortably for the rest of their days, she’ll do anything to escape—including sneaking away from her wedding and bolting into the woods to disappear.
New Seattle, 2077
Ash is on a mission. Rescue the professor—his mentor who figured out the secret to time travel—so together they can put things right in their devastated city. But endless jumps through time have left Ash plagued by prememories of what’s to come—a violent death and his heart torn apart.
When Dorothy collides with Ash, she sees it as her chance to start fresh—she’ll stow away in his plane and begin a new life wherever they land. Then she wakes up in a future that’s been ripped apart by earthquakes and floods; where vicious gangs rule the submerged city streets and a small group of intrepid travelers from across time are fighting against the odds to return things to normal. What Dorothy doesn’t know is that she could hold the key to unraveling the past—but her arrival may spell Ash’s ultimate destruction.

I know I can't really speak for him, but I feel like Doc Brown would be onboard with this one.”—Kendare Blake, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Three Dark Crowns series
“The hauntingly evocative prose seduced me, the compellingly nuanced characters captivated me, and the twisting storyline ensnared my thoughts in an infinite spiral that refused to release me until the final word.”—Romina Russell, New York Times bestselling author of the Zodiac series
