Max's private life is already more than a little rocky, but with Leon recovering and Matthew safe in the future, there may never be a better opportunity to finally bring down the elusive Clive Ronan. The trail leads St Mary's historians from the chaos of Tudor England to the burning city of Persepolis, from a medieval siege to a grim spell of nineteenth-century incarceration, as Max becomes determined that this time her nemesis will not escape. Meanwhile, the wider institute is thrown into turmoil by a fresh clash with the Time Police, whose own agenda threatens to upend the delicate balance St Mary's has fought so hard to protect.
