Roze Campanella comes from an ancestry of Time mages, but probably, she is the few remaining of her kind. Her powers are immature, not at all like the ones of legend that changed the world. Merely getting by is a challenge if someone discovers her secret.

Her fortune changes when a man named Gideon suddenly appears, taking down her opponents in the blink of an eye. He finds himself in her world, bearing the crest of her clan, which fuels an ability to stop time for everything but himself. The catch is using it speeds up a countdown. When it hits zero, he is sent back to the moment he first arrives, starting a new cycle.

Gideon’s belief that Roze will become great enough to end his curse sparks a journey that brings them to her ancestral home in search of answers. If only Gideon weren’t such a carefree spirit who has dependability issues and likes to hide what he knows from previous cycles!
