Kaid Al-Yami changed the Continent forever with the Time Paradox: the reversal of exactly twenty-four minutes to save the woman he loves. Two years later, it is Empress Jessamine Kruzika who is picking up the pieces and handling the Paradox's consequences. A religious war appears to be on the horizon in Uhkhtar as the district regathers its newfound strength from the North. However, a new power arises in the east called Pestilence: someone out there is forcibly removing Oblivion from everyone who possesses it. Jessamine's ambition to mend the relationships between Empires and quell fears of Oblivion places her in the spotlight once more as a political threat. As much as Kaid can try to avoid both his revoked duty and love for his Empress, he must insert himself back into her life to keep her safe, while also answering for his crimes. With new threats on the rise, is their love powerful enough to overcome their wounds of betrayal and broken promises?
