Midnight, Central Bohemia, Sunday October 31, 1571 – Eleven year old Princes Elizabeth of the Dominions of Loyalty is tincture-tainted and cast before a mirror. Her mother, mother-in-law to be, and a three yard tall preternatural priest give her just six hours to save all transforming humanity, or four hundred and forty one years of her future selves. Elizabeth is about to discover allies and secrets in the far distant future and past she could never have imagined, and the enemies to rival them.
