by Gerhi Janse van Vuuren
Seventeen-year-old Darius is handed an impossible gift: the power to travel back in time and undo the injury that crippled his grandfather. It should have fixed everything. Instead, it breaks the present for everyone else. Still bound to the old man's ruthless ambition, Darius must unravel a fractured timeline and a sinister plot—before the broken past hardens into a horrible present. Chapters published on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
