I thought my days of wielding Sacred Stone powers were over. Then a strange portal appears in my dorm room ...
When a couple portal into my dorm from 1924 asking for my help, it's hard to say no.
Especially when they tell me an old enemy from the Watcher Sapphire Wars found a way to travel through time and wants to sabotage the Seer's line.
If we take on this mission, my boyfriend Patrick and I will have travel to another century to prevent a smooth-talking Lothario from wooing the Seer of one hundred years ago and changing history.
Without completely mucking up the past ...

Yesterday, my biggest problem was finding an escort to the debutante ball. Then I see a strange display of supernatural powers. Have my Seer powers come early?
My parents want me to find a suitable husband and settle down. But I’m only eighteen and have big plans for my future.
It’s 1924 and women are slowly gaining their freedom. Even though I’m next in line to be the Seer, I want to control my own destiny. Perhaps even become the first female member of the Guardian Council
Except, there's a new Lothario seeking my hand, and the boy next door trying to distract me. It's all a game of cat and mouse. If I give my heart to anyone, I need to make sure they won’t try to control me.
Or perhaps I'm better off rebelling against my parent's wishes and forging my own path.
Can I navigate the sea of powerful suitors, and my burgeoning Seer powers without falling prey to someone who plays the game better than I do?
I guess we're about to find out ...
