Wren Derecho has successfully time traveled back to the present, confident that the dangerous

and powerful orb has been lost forever in the broken shards of time. However, her sense of relief

quickly turns to horror when she realizes the orb has mysteriously reappeared and things are not

the same as when she left them.

Wren must now navigate through the new timeline and overcome the unexpected obstacles and

twists it presents. As she struggles to adapt, she learns about Operation Aquarius Deep, a DAWN

mission to retrieve ground-breaking tech from the hands of the ruthless Cyril Elton-Blackwood.

But things have changed drastically for the worst in this new, foreign reality, and everything that

Wren thought she knew is now unfamiliar and beginning to spiral out of control.

Could the orb, an other-worldly power source, be the cause of all this confusion and disaster? Or

is it possible that even more formidable forces are at play? With the help of her friends, Wren

must try to bend time and rewrite fate to get one step ahead of its cruel game. Secrets will be

revealed, lives will be stolen, and the past will return to haunt those who wish to forget it.

      Even with do-overs, saving the world can seem impossible. Following the adventures of Broken Shards of Time (2020), Wren Derecho has just returned from the future--barely--as the timeline was collapsing, but she hopes her efforts and the sacrifices of her friends were enough to prevent those horrible events from unfolding. However, it seems that altering the future has also changed some things in the past. Alex Donahue's eyes are now bright blue, the same blue as the infernal orb that caused her future self to turn evil--and that is back in her possession even though she left it in the crumbling future timeline. Now Wren is stuck in a time loop, one of which only she and Alex are aware, as they relive a day during which the world continually ends. Wren needs to find a way to break the loop in order to save her friends and time as they know it. Told from multiple characters' perspectives and going over multiple iterations of the same events, this narrative keeps both the protagonists and readers on their toes, though it is sometimes difficult to emotionally invest due to the continually changing circumstances. Nevertheless, this second installment maintains a fast pace as it rockets into the finale. In a racially diverse cast, Wren is cued as White, and Alex is brown-skinned; both have robotic prostheses. An exciting whirlwind of science-fiction espionage for those who appreciate plot-driven stories. (Science fiction. 13-18)
