Tisena—the last Okemus Hunter from the future—now calls present/day New York City home. But instead of fighting to save her own future, she’s focused on protecting ours. When Mesar, her only ally, is captured by the rogue military group known as Faction 6, Tisena must stop them from exploiting the power of the Okemus Hunters to create deadly weapons of mass destruction. As her search for Mesar intensifies, she crosses paths with Amara Andrews, a fiery and brilliant FBI agent searching for her missing sister, who is determined to help Tisena bring down Faction 6.
