When a prodigy physicist opens a portal into the distant past, Critias and Carmen travel back in time to join King Louie's community of survivor heroes in the hope that they will find the mysterious man from the sarcophagus and learn the secret that will let mankind finally reclaim the Earth from the immortal ghouls.

Ollie could be the key to finding the next leader, but her family comes first. However, as power hungry factions hunt for Ollie, she will do whatever it takes to protect her loved ones.

This novel is the story of a heroine caught in the game of political intrigues and suspense. The book starts out in chaos with so many characters fleetingly introduced and an ambiguous plot, but it slowly builds up, narrowing down the character list and giving the reader an idea of the story. The story ends on a strong note. An interesting but slightly confusing read.
