Malik Jordan is used to being the smartest person in the room. Honors student, science prodigy, and son of a mother who worked twice as hard so he could dream bigger. When he's grouped with three unlikely classmates for a school science fair, Malik expects disaster.
Instead, they build something impossible. A prototype time machine-designed to shift time by mere seconds-malfunctions during a final test. In a single flash of light, Malik is ripped from the present and dropped into the brutal heart of America's slave-holding South.
Stripped of his name, freedom, and future, Malik finds himself in a world where he isn't a student, a genius, or a son-he's property.
With no idea where his teammates are-or if they even survived-Malik must rely on his mind, his will to survive, and whispers of rebellion to find a way back. But time isn't a straight line, and history doesn't let go easily. As Malik uncovers secrets buried in blood and cotton, he faces a terrifying truth:
Some wounds weren't meant to heal. Some chains weren't meant to break. And if he can't escape this past... it might erase his future forever.
