About this ebook
THE GRIPPING FIRST ADULT FANTASY NOVEL FROM A.F. STEADMAN, AUTHOR OF THE AWARD-WINNING AND INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING SKANDAR SERIES!
Timeless enemies. Timecrossed lovers. A future in freefall...
At twenty, Artemis has just graduated top of her Cambridge class of assassins, the most respected discipline in the Faculty’s army. As a timeless soldier, she will travel in and out of linear time, protecting the fragile future with her lethal hands. Along with her crew — a navigator, an armourer, a historian and a physician — Artemis will do whatever it takes to stop the destruction of history by dangerous time vandals.
Artemis might look like she’s got everything she ever wanted, but growing up in Cambridge hasn’t been easy. Assassins must be ruthless to survive and she’s made enemies, discarded a fair few lovers and has a secret that could lose her everything she’s worked for. And things don’t get any simpler once Artemis and her crew start to travel. On assignment, all timeless soldiers must obey four fundamental rules:
But Artemis is going to meet a time vandal who has been waiting for her. And despite knowing this man is devastation distilled—that he is the very war she is fighting—Artemis is going to break all the rules and let him live. As he follows her through time and space, Art is going to become obsessed with two questions: why is he so determined to be everywhere she is? And why can’t she bring herself to kill him?
