Tara Selter has fallen out of time: for her, the eighteenth of November comes round again and again, while the people around her live it only once. This volume opens on day 1,144, when she gains company in Henry Dale, who is stuck in the same date. Until now she was alone in time's disorder. Together they explore what the loop allows and whether it might be joined back to ordinary time, while Tara turns to history and to the rise and fall of the Roman Empire.
