Istanbul, 1580. In the shadowed depths of Topkapi Palace, young Lina watches her father, the Sultan’s alchemist, unlock the secrets of time. But his forbidden knowledge comes at a terrible price. When Faris dies under suspicious circumstances, Lina discovers his hidden laboratory and a pulsating artifact that hurls her through the centuries to a dazzling, technologically advanced Istanbul of 2023.
This is not the future she expected. The Ottoman Empire still reigns, its power secured by meticulously manipulating the past. Skyscrapers pierce the sky alongside minarets, airships weave between towers, and alchemy is now accepted physics. But this gleaming facade masks a sinister truth: the empire’s longevity rests on the very technology Lina’s father sought to master, a technology used to silence dissent and rewrite history.
Alone and disoriented, Lina finds refuge with a secret network of historians and scientists fighting to reclaim their past. She learns her father’s death was no accident, that he stumbled upon a truth too dangerous to reveal. Now, pursued by the empire’s ruthless Chronoguards, Lina must navigate a treacherous world of scientific marvels and political machinations. She must master the very technology that brought her here, unravel the empire’s lies, and fight to prevent this dystopian future from becoming permanent.
Allied with a brilliant young engineer torn between loyalty and truth, Lina discovers a hidden archive, unearthing the forgotten legacy of women scientists erased from history. Their stories empower her as she races against time, not just to return to her own era, but to restore a future where knowledge serves humanity, not control. Can she expose the empire’s secrets and reclaim the past before the Chronoguards silence her forever?
