Riane Arvid is a Temporal Enforcer - someone who prevents the abuse of time travel from criminals who would use it for their own ends. When her suit is sabotaged, Riane is trapped in 2009 by the Xerans, an alien culture that will stop at nothing to rule time and space. Only with the aid of Nick Wyatt will she be able to prevent the plans to break the hold of the Enforcers.

Nick Wyatt has grown up with knowledge that there are beings out there who would capture him. His mother died to protect him. Nick is left with a stone which aids him in his work of protecting the innocent. When he helps Riane, Nick will learn more about his past than he ever could have imagined. Some of the news will be difficult to accept.

An intriguing premise that kept my interest but left me a little confused as well. Nick and Riane will battle aliens at the same time as they battle their own insecurities. They jump back and forth through time so often that I had trouble keeping the years straight What they learn alter their outlook on their lives and their goals as they work through their feelings for each other. Ms. Knight has created a unique world with some truly scary villains. As this is part of a continuing series, I would recommend starting from the beginning.
