Temporal Combat School for the Temporally Unlucky

Mira Park is having the worst day of her life—which is saying something, because yesterday she was stabbed by a samurai ghost in her high school cafeteria and died. Now she's enrolled in the Continuum Military Academy, a top-secret institution where teenagers are trained in martial arts to fight "temporal bleed": supernatural entities leaking from fractured timelines into human history. The curriculum includes swordplay, paradox theory, and not falling in love with someone who might be your own grandson from an alternate future. Mira's problem: she's too good at dying. Every time she resets, she remembers—and she's starting to notice that other students don't. Either she's glitching the system, or the system is using her. As she climbs the academy ranks, survives increasingly absurd historical deployments, and navigates a romance with a boy who literally doesn't exist on Tuesdays, Mira uncovers the truth: the academy isn't training them to fix time. It's training them to replace it. To graduate, she'll have to fight her way through centuries, outwit instructors who've already seen her future failures, and decide whether saving the boy she loves means dooming the world—or whether the "world" they're protecting was never worth saving in the first place.
