Her world was left to die. Her future is a cage. Her only weapon is yesterday. Chained and defeated, Sakima is a queen in name only-a prisoner on a brutal desert planet, surrounded by bitter rivals. With her people's future slipping away and hope all but gone, her enemies have forgotten one truth: before she was a queen, she was a warrior. And a warrior does not die in a cage. Her only path forward is a suicide mission: forge a fragile alliance with alien outlaws, breach an impossible prison, and track down a renegade prince who holds the keys to time itself. But rewriting history may be the most perilous weapon of all. In a race against time itself, will their desperate gambit save their world-or destroy it forever? Fans of the time-bending stakes of Avengers: Endgame, the ragtag heroics of Guardians of the Galaxy, and the sweeping collections of Brandon Sanderson will be captivated by this stunning third book in the Mannahatta saga. Don't miss this epic adventure where the only way forward... is back.
