Using technology ordinary teenager Anna and her friends can’t even imagine in 2014, Zephyr—knowing the risks of changing history—reaches back in time for assistance. As events unfold and peril from the Zarxï intensifies in both time periods, Anna will become an unlikely heroine and Zephyr will navigate through present and past to reach for the world he lost.
