There are an awful lot of trilogies out there, especially in young adult books, which really don’t need to be trilogies. But as the three of them attempt to evade their pursuers, Nicholas soon realizes that one of his companions may have ulterior motives.Īs Etta and Nicholas fight to make their way back to one another, from Imperial Russia to the Vatican catacombs, time is rapidly shifting and changing into something unrecognizable… and might just run out on both of them. They cross paths with a mercenary-for-hire, a cheeky girl named Li Min who quickly develops a flirtation with Sophia. Meanwhile, Nicholas and Sophia are racing through time in order to locate Etta and the missing astrolabe with Ironwood travelers hot on their trail.
