The future is dying. The past is its only hope.

Florence, 2017. Dr Ben Richards is a brilliant wind-energy scientist presenting a breakthrough technology that could prevent the planet's collapse. Within hours of his arrival, someone tries to kill him.
A century later, Earth is unrecognisable. Nuclear devastation, corporate energy monopolies, and unchecked artificial intelligence have pushed humanity to the edge of extinction. The United Nations Authority has uncovered one critical turning point: the silencing of Dr Ben Richards in 2017.

To save the future, they send a guardian back through time.

Agent Merisi arrives in Florence with one mission: keep Richards alive long enough to deliver his energy technology to the world. But the future's most powerful energy conglomerate GIATCOM will stop at nothing to bury it. Enhanced humans, android doppelgangers, and biological warfare are deployed across time itself. And GIATCOM's agent, the genetically engineered Shui Feng, is already in position.

As Richards is pulled deeper into a conspiracy spanning centuries, he must also fight a war within himself haunted by PTSD and childhood trauma that have followed him from the schoolyard to the stage. He has spent his life doubting his own worth. Now the fate of humanity rests on whether he can believe in it. Through cryptic Caravaggio paintings, the ancient SATOR Square, and a hidden form of spiritual time travel encoded in sacred geometry, Richards begins to see that his mission may be far greater than one man's survival. Richards begins to understand that his mission reaches far beyond clean energy -- and that the mental illness he has always seen as his weakness may be his greatest gift.
Then Grazia Rossini, the Italian journalist who may be his only ally, disappears and Richards is left alone in the rain with no phone, no guide, and no idea who to trust, in a city where everyone may be a double.
