‘You’re talking nonsense,’ I say. ‘Complete and utter nonsense.’ He sighs dramatically, throwing his hands up in the air. ‘No, no, Amarantha, you misunderstand entirely. You’re thinking of time as linear, when I promise you it is anything but. Minutes, hours, days. It’s all just humanity’s way of making sense of their existence, their way of giving names to the forces of the universe they cannot hope to ever truly understand. The type of travel I speak of is not nearly as outlandish as you think.’ I shake my head. This man is clearly delusional. ‘Let me put it that way for you.’ He sits down opposite me, clasping his hands together and resting them on the smooth wood of the desk. The air feels very still, almost suffocating. His eyes shine with an almost terrifying energy. ‘What if I told you,’ he says in a lowered voice, ‘that everything - the past, the present, the future - is all happening at once? That it’s not so much knowing when to go, but where.’
Amarantha is offered an opportunity few are ever chosen for - the chance become a member of the secret society hidden within the walls of the Natural History Museum in inner-city London. With them, she will travel to times and places never seen by humankind before, see the history of the Earth before her eyes. She will no longer be Amarantha, your average university student struggling to make ends meet. She will be a fox. There is more to the society than meets the eye, though. As Amarantha will soon discover, lost in the dangerous valleys and forests of a prehistoric age, her worth to the organisation she serves relies on her obedience. And Amarantha has never been one for doing as she’s told, especially if it involves sentencing another person to death. Trapped in the dark wonderland of the past and hunted by some of the most powerful forces in the world’s history, she will have to learn to survive against the odds if she can have any hope of returning home.
