Lua Mi has made a living dealing in death. As one of the feared Murder Men, she's faced ruthless kings, supernatural beings, and enemies who would gladly pay for her head. But when her husband vanishes into the unknown, the deadly assassin faces a challenge no blade can overcome.

Her search takes her beyond the boundaries of her own Earth and into 1960s America—a strange world where magic is dismissed as superstition, machines have replaced the extraordinary, and the passage of time holds secrets she cannot comprehend.

A stranger in an unfamiliar land, Lua follows a trail of mysterious clues that seem almost too convenient. Her instincts warn her that someone is manipulating her search, but the possibility of finding her husband proves stronger than her suspicion.

And someone is counting on that.

As the trail draws her closer to the truth, Lua becomes entangled in a dangerous game orchestrated by an unseen adversary whose knowledge of her past is matched only by an unsettling interest in her future.

In a world where nothing is quite what it seems, Lua must confront an enemy who appears to know her every move—and whose intentions stretch far beyond the fate of one missing man.

She's crossed worlds for love. But something has crossed time for her.
