When Rosalen Maldonado tinkers with the derelict freighter, she’s just hoping to prove she deserves a scholarship to University. She certainly doesn’t count on waking the ship’s damaged AI or having three stowaways, Micah Rotherwood and brothers Jem and Barre Durbin, along for the ride. They all have their private reasons for hiding aboard and lives they are seeking to escape, but if the accidental crew can’t work together and learn to trust each other, they’ll die together, victims of a computer that doesn’t realize the war ended decades before any of them were even born.

History maybe buried, but is it always dead?

Nick Blaketon believes himself grounded in student life and the camaraderie of his rugby-playing mates, yet the modern world cannot defend him from a burrowing visitation that leaves a jewelled sword fading in his hand.

As his friends fall away, Nick locks onto reticent Alice whose studies are steeped in Nature’s folklore. She suspects the guarded water courses revered during the ancient Celtic Samhain celebrations were portals of Time. He scoffs, but she’s serious. To prove her theory she is determined to find and excavate an undisturbed shrine to a water deity. Or perhaps it is determined to find them.

The closer they get the more Nick comes to understand the reasons for the intertwining of folklore, myth and legend. None of it is benign. Can he undo what cannot be undone, or will Time overspill with every step he takes?
