He started beating on me first. Right? Would they believe that? At what point does flight become fight? Cameron has reached his threshold. Will he run? Or will he fight back? On a journey of finding family, peace, and love, he must first learn to win the battle in his head.

El tiempo es una prisión, y ella es la llave. En las tierras de Sempera, los ricos controlan todo... incluso el tiempo. Desde la época legendaria de la alquimia y la hechicería, las horas, los días y los años se extrajeron de la sangre, se combinaron con el hierro y se conservaron en monedas. Ahora, aristócratas como la familia Gerling florecen durante siglos, mientras el pueblo vive sus escasos años con amargo resentimiento. Y nadie está más resentida con los Gerling que Jules Ember. Su padre y ella trabajaron hace mucho tiempo en Everless, el palacio de los Gerling... hasta que un funesto accidente los desterró de allí. Ahora, desesperada por ganar tiempo, Jules regresa a Everless en medio de los preparativos para la boda de Roan, el más joven de los hermanos Gerling, con la hija de la Reina. Entre la inesperada amabilidad de Roan, la crueldad de su hermano Liam y los escalofriantes rumores que rodean a la Reina, Everless posee más tentaciones -y peligros- de lo que Jules jamás imaginó. Las historias de su infancia comienzan a adoptar nuevos significados, arrojándola a un pasado cada vez más profundo que le cuesta reconocer y revelando una enredada trama de violentos secretos que podrían cambiar su futuro -y el futuro del tiempo- para siempre.
