A secret history. A power struggle stretching back generations. A plot that could threaten the planet itself. It’s going to take the gamble of a lifetime just to make it out alive.
Finn Yang is good with numbers and good at reading people, and that makes him a great poker player. When he discovers a family heirloom—a ring that can pause time—he doesn’t want a grand adventure, just an occasional edge at cards. When his chaotic younger sister moves in without warning, Finn is the one with something to hide.
Anna Zhao is more than a fixer—she’s the best there is. Like her father before her, she is rising fast in a secretive organization that quietly wields unimaginable power. Her loyalty is beyond question, and she has more than earned her position subtly influencing the happenings at the mysterious casino in Chinatown’s gritty underworld. Gaining control of Finn’s ring is simply her next assignment. Until Anna starts asking questions.
Finn and Anna are about to discover a world far more dangerous than they could imagine—and time is about to crack wide open.
Audrey Lee is the author of two novels, Never To Be Told and The Mechanics of Memory, which was nominated for Edgar, Anthony, and Lefty awards. After two decades in public education, Lee now splits her time between writing and consulting with school systems on educational equity. She can often be found with a dirty martini in hand, making miniatures, betting on slot machines, or tending to a small, high-maintenance Maltipoo. Lee lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and (when he’s home from college) her son.
