The history of the world, past, present, and future, resides in the pages of a single book. It is handed to the next Keeper each generation when the Child of Light is revealed. The book only remains constant for the chosen. For anyone else, something changes if they touch it. Adelia Hemstock has been the Keeper for three decades. A break in at her shop leaves the book unguarded and it is taken. She learns there is more to the world surrounding the book than she knows as she races to find it. Rourke Templest has secretly guarded the book and its current Keeper for most of his life. In the wrong place at the wrong time, the book is taken on his watch and he must emerge from the shadows to find it. The feisty Keeper he has only known from a distance until now, is a complication to the job he must do. Can they recover it before it changes? Or, will it fall into the hands of those who wish to use it to change the world forever? Only the book knows for sure.
