The Astrolabe Awakens

As a twenty-four-year-old archaeology student in Boston with no family history to speak of and a childhood spent moving through the foster system, Evie has built her life around evidence—things she can study, document, and prove. An overseas excavation should mean ruins, dust, and maybe enough adventure to justify the loans.

She does not expect Theo Ward. She definitely does not expect an ancient astrolabe to wake the moment her blood touches it.

Suddenly she can live the past, present, and possible futures hidden inside objects. Time can stop around her. A sarcastic brass key develops opinions. And an organization with roots stretching back generations appears to know far more about Evie’s missing family than she does.

Evie has spent her entire life being told where she belongs. She has no intention of letting an ancient machine, a secret organization, or one infuriatingly attractive man start doing it now.

Because sometimes the most dangerous thing you can uncover isn’t an artifact. It’s the truth about yourself.
