Her world was left to die. Her future is a cage. Her only weapon is yesterday.
Chained and defeated, Sakima is a queen in name only—a prisoner on a brutal desert planet, surrounded by bitter rivals. With her people’s future slipping away and hope all but gone, her enemies have forgotten one truth: before she was a queen, she was a warrior.
And a warrior does not die in a cage.
Her only path forward is a suicide mission: forge a fragile alliance with alien outlaws, breach an impossible prison, and track down a renegade prince who holds the keys to time itself.
But rewriting history may be the most perilous weapon of all. In a race against time itself, will their desperate gambit save their world—or destroy it forever?
Fans of the time-bending stakes of Avengers: Endgame, the ragtag heroics of Guardians of the Galaxy, and the sweeping collections of Brandon Sanderson will be captivated by this stunning third book in the Mannahatta saga.
