  Immortal Descendants are disappearing and seventeen-year-old Clocker Saira
  Elian is next on the list…
  
  
  Saira and Archer’s romantic London summer is shattered by the bold kidnappings
  of Immortal Descendants. It’s clear Mongers want control of the Descendant
  Families, and when they target a powerful Shifter, there’s no doubt they will
  eliminate anyone who stands in their way.
  
  
  A split in time could be the cause of this new Monger aggression, and Saira,
  Archer and Ringo suspect their time-traveling nemesis Bishop Wilder. One
  dangerous world is exchanged for another when Saira and her friends track
  Wilder to the gloomy streets of Paris in 1429. They find the city besieged by
  marauding wolves led by a fanatical peasant girl who will be known to history
  as Joan of Arc.
