But some of the Umbrathane have escaped into the distant past, where they can position themselves to wreak havoc across time and undo their defeat.

He will need it all for his encounter with Cowl.Once one of Tack's targets, Polly escaped with her life when a torbeast scale snatched her. Now, like Tack, she must learn fast as she is dragged back to Day Zero. To cheat death again, she will have to help him save the human race., Books<
