Crown and Chronos

The Empress has everything. Except the one thing she needs to rewrite history.
Vanessa Lee is living on borrowed time in a quiet, forgotten village. She holds the secret to a device that could undo the empire's greatest mistakes—or destroy the present entirely.
The Empress is coming for her. She is looking for the final piece of a puzzle left behind by the late professor.
As Imperial forces descend on the village of Mana, Vanessa must decide if she will hide, fight, or trigger the very mechanism that could rewrite the world.
History is a trap. And the Empress is ready to break it.
