For nearly ten thousand years, the time travelers of the Marked Covenant have searched for the one prophesied to restore balance to mankind. Lola Scott was chosen as their savior. They chose wrong.
332 B.C. Lola Scott was never meant to join the Marked Covenant, an underground time-traveling society bound to protect mankind. She knows her team would love to replace her. When she’s tasked with a mission to find the mythical Book of Ra, a legendary object with knowledge that could catastrophically alter history, Lola is determined to prove herself worthy. She goes undercover into the political web of Alexander the Great’s court in newly conquered Egypt, only to find her former flame one step ahead. Lola allowed his promises of love and power to sway her once—in a different century, in a different life. She will not make that same mistake again.
A.D. 800. Mallaidh is the disfavored daughter of one of the most powerful clan kings in Ireland. She has resigned herself to a monotonous life of spinsterhood until a mysterious warrior from a neighboring tribe entraps her into a bargain she cannot undo. As time passes, their hostile partnership gives way to something more. Mallaidh must decide if she should abandon her people and the only life she has ever known or say goodbye forever to a future she never thought she could have.
Now, as her past and present identities converge, Lola must confront the truth of who she really is. She may not be the savior prophesied to bring peace to mankind’s future, but she will do whatever it takes to prevent its destruction.
