It took years, tears, and promises she’s not sure she can keep, but Paradis Tane has finally convinced her grandparents to allow her to leave Danae, join Oversight, and become a synchronist–her one and only chance to live on her own, away from family duties. But her position as an apprentice is tenuous, and one wrong step during training could send her home in disgrace.
It’s all going well until she meets fellow apprentice Sacheri, an irrepressible flirt who teases her and asks far too many probing questions of the mentors. Paradis knows he’s trouble the moment she sees him, but there’s no resisting his kindness and charm.
When Sacheri’s research turns up troubling questions about the history of Oversight itself, Paradis must decide if their friendship–and her own sense of justice– are worth the risks to her future as a synchronist if she aids him…
