Dive into the genesis of the Continuum Project in this riveting time-travel prequel, where rich historical detail collides with breathless suspense and intimate human drama.

Dr. Micah St. James, a brilliant physicist driven by unyielding curiosity, spearheads humanity’s first deliberate voyage into the past. Her mission is clear: observe Renaissance Italy without leaving a mark. Yet one spontaneous act of mercy in its shadowed alleys fractures the unbreakable rule—and ignites subtle, cascading changes that could unravel the present she knows.

Now isolated from her fracturing team, hounded by a government hungry to weaponize history, and shadowed by a radical operative pushing dangerous boundaries, Micah confronts an impossible choice. Is the past an inviolable archive to be studied... or raw material she must reshape to save what matters most?

Perfect for readers who loved the emotional weight of The Time Traveler's Wife and the fierce female agency of The Calculating Stars, Before the Rift is a taut novella alive with moral ambiguity, high-stakes consequences, and the quiet decisions that quietly rewrite destiny.
