After months of jumping through time, Alex and Lyra uncovered clues that led them to the lost city of Achronis. This city was built in a temporal rift, existing outside the bounds of any known era. It was a place where past, present, and future converged—a sanctuary for the Timekeepers.
But Achronis was heavily guarded, and Alex's device was on the verge of breaking down entirely. With only one jump left before the Chrono-Node would fail, Alex and Lyra infiltrated the city, blending in with the inhabitants—people from every time period, living together in harmony under the Timekeepers' rule.
As they explored Achronis, they discovered the truth about the Timekeepers' purpose. They weren't just manipulating time for power; they were trying to prevent a catastrophic event—a "timequake" that would unravel the fabric of the universe itself.
