Dendrochronological quantum entanglement (DQE). First observed in the forested area around Brookings, Oregon, when three environmental protesters against a logging project reported experiencing the memories of their distant ancestors, of the Taa-laa-waa Dee-ni' people, just before a large redwood tree was cut down. The research lab associated with Dr Chapman in the Medical Arts building at the University of Pittsburgh followed up on these reports and began running experiments on this time-displacement effect, using cross-sections of sequoia trees and lab rats of the same direct genetic lineage in clinical trials. They called it 'The Gordon Effect'. However, an accident occurred. Jake Burdett, a master's candidate in economics at the University of Pittsburgh, is now living out the memories of his distant ancestor, having been accidentally exposed to the Gordon Effect as he was sitting on a bench outside the Medical Arts building. The only hint at unravelling the effect is a single inscription in ancient Hungarian runes. Together, Jake and his ancestor must figure out how to undo the Gordon Effect, and send Jake back to his normal life.

In the year 2035, Professor Javier Navarro succeeded where every scientist before him failed. He built a functional time travel device. Quiet, methodical, and haunted by a past he never speaks of, Navarro did not create the machine for glory. He built it to fix a single moment he could never forget. But the first test did not go as planned. When he stepped forward in time, just five seconds, he returned to a world that was slightly wrong. A light was out of place. A door that should not have been open was open. His assistant, N.A.I.A., began to detect ripple anomalies in the quantum field. Then the fractures deepened. Entire days vanished. People changed. Some no longer existed at all. Javier thought he was in control of time. Now time is hunting him. With reality collapsing across parallel timelines, he must navigate an ever-shifting world where versions of himself, some kind and others monstrous, have made different choices. And not all of them want him to survive. Because somewhere in the timeline, someone, or something, is pulling the strings. The only constant left may be the machine he thought he understood. What begins as a scientific breakthrough becomes a race against the future itself. You cannot fix the past without breaking the present.
