"Line up the years, reset the clock, write another thirty pages in your ink... I'll be waiting on the floorboards every single time."
In 1957, Thomas Shelby closed his eyes under the painted glass spires of Warwickshire, carrying a faded blue thread and a promise across death. In 1991, he woke up in a modern London hospital with seventy-three years of memories, an empire to build, and an empty space beside him.
For thirty-five years, he ran Shelby Company Limited like a ghost among the living-waiting.
In 2026, 25-year-old Krystal Montesa is just an IT graduate who wants to code indie games, care for her cats, and survive a messy breakup.
She doesn't remember Small Heath. She doesn't remember the 1913 blue thread or the 1924 blueprint. To her, Thomas Shelby is just a ruthless, terrifying multi-billionaire CEO who buys her entire street and looks at her like she holds the air in his lungs.
But when old betrayals strike and history threatens to bleed into the present, an untraceable flight to the Washington woods breaks the timeline wide open.
He burned eighty-billion-pound mergers for her. He waited a century in the dark. And this time, nobody gets to take her away.
'She didn't know his name. He had been counting her heartbeats across two centuries."
