The Imaginarium
Next, imagine that, regardless of whether they succeed or fail, the course of events in five universes will change forever.
Then imagine that, in order to prevent the enemy from discovering the plan, most of the memories of those undertaking the mission have been temporarily blocked.
Finally, try to imagine that the commander of the mission is a young girl who has barely entered adolescence and why the mission begins in a sparsely inhabited area of northern Italy at the end of the seventh century A.D.
Please join me for the journey.
This is the first volume of Part One of The Clocks.
