A Reluctant Heir. A Forbidden Power. The Ticking End of the World.Felix always thought the worst part of his life was being an orphan who could see time glitch. He was wrong.Whisked away to the Archivum, a colossal, bureaucratic Mystic Library, Felix discovers he is the Creator's Heir-the only person whose raw, chaotic Chronography power can stop a catastrophe. But the Archivum is a place of theory, where the past is sacred text, and its rigid rules are a prison.When rogue Chronographer Kaelen attacks, Felix realizes the truth: Kaelen isn't trying to edit history; he's trying to steal the Universal Anchor, the keystone that holds the entire timeline together. Its theft means the catastrophic, global collapse of time itself.Isolated by the deceit of his flawed mentor, Felix must rely on the Found Family he barely knows-the rebellious cartographer Cora and the terrified logician Lytton-to infiltrate the most secure vault in the world.To save the future, Felix must first master the agonizing, costly chaos of his own magic and choose a side: the structured lies of the past, or the dangerous freedom of the unwritten future.
