Ethan's life is instantly transformed as he becomes the unwitting custodian of this incredible power. But his discovery has not gone unnoticed. Two shadowy factions emerge from the periphery, each with their designs on the maleknite.
The Others, a clandestine organisation driven by an insatiable hunger for control, see the element as the ultimate weapon. With the ability to rewrite the immediate past, their ambitions of global dominance could become terrifyingly real.
Standing against them are the Watchers, a secretive group dedicated to safeguarding the delicate tapestry of time. They understand the catastrophic potential of maleknite in the wrong hands and are determined to keep it out of the grasp of the Others, no matter the cost.
Caught in the crossfire, Ethan must navigate a treacherous landscape of pursuit and intrigue. As the Watchers and the Others clash in a desperate race against time, the fate of the past – and perhaps the future – hangs precariously in the balance. Will the forces of preservation prevail, or will the allure of temporal power corrupt and conquer?
