Jay Silver has long since abandoned the idea of mastering her unpredictable, immortal life. Time shifts are inevitable. Each one throws her across time and place, leaves her stranded in a new world with nothing but instinct and experience to guide her.
This time, she lands in a version of Italy that's both beautiful and terrifying. Here, dragons rule the skies and humanity has been forced into hiding. The history she once knew is gone, replaced by a brutal new reality.
Then a man appears, claiming to know her. Desperate to understand what he means and why he's so familiar, Jay follows him into a tangled web of magic and prophecy where a sword calls to her, a weapon with a tragic history. If she picks it up, she will become part of an ancient line of supposed saviors, all of whom have failed.
Now, Jay must face a terrifying choice. She can take up the sword and follow a path that could save humanity, or she can defy fate and risk this world's destruction.
For a woman who just wants to live a quiet life, the stakes have never been higher.
Will she become the hero this world needs or the one who destroys it entirely?
