Reina is a girl living in modern-times America. However she feels she can't connect to anyone in her generation. One day she finds a dusty book with a golden spine in her late parents' (professors of time) house. She opens it to page 1, and she is swept away to 1800's-France where she meets Nathan Armvîce, who immediately charms her off her feet. She then comes back, and turns the page. But nothing happens. She reads a story of a young woman who slowly falls in love with two people, and then she gets to the last page, page 292, where she is again swept away to 2600 Russia, where revolution is brewing. There, she meets Henrïk Gorgövich, a shy colonel who has a giant crush on her. And soon she discovers her parents' notes and finds that every visit she makes to another realm, the fabric of time gets closer and closer to tearing. She must decide between the loving yet shy Henrïk and the egotistical yet brave Nathan, before the fabric of time tears. But little does she know, both Henrïk and Nathan have secrets of their own... And when she finally does discover who her true love really was all along, she is trapped in another realm...
