On the brink of a religious war between Makeem and Novo Femina, Celeocia Prosser's struggle for gender equality leads her to Reesa Zimms; the one woman in all of history who can identify the first Mavirus victim. Believing the information surrounding this patient zero to be pivotal in the fight against the Makeem, Celeocia sets her sights on Reesa Zimms, also known as Caresse Zimmerman. There's just one problem; Reesa Zimms is a science fiction novelist who lived and died hundreds of years in the past. Utilizing wormhole travel and antimatter discs, Celeocia sends her son Hedric and the crew of the ship known as the Lothogy careening through time. When Hedric finds Reesa, the novelist is accompanied by her best friend Kate, who just happens to look like his recently murdered wife. Stunned and reeling, Hedric abducts both women, bringing Reesa and Kate on a not-so-gentle ride into the future. Time travel might be easier for Reesa to accept because Hedric Prosser, the High Priestess, and the very ship they're traveling on, all belong in Reesa's novels. Confused and pretty sure she's going insane; Reesa tries to prepare her friend Kate for the very male-dominated society they've been dumped into. When she finds herself abandoned by Hedric, Reesa must rely on Matthew Borden, the villain of her books to rescue Kate and fight their way home.
