Description:
A time-traveling, futuristic saga of a family trying to outlast and remake a universe with a power unlike any we've seen before
When Raisa Hopeland, determined to win her race to become the next electromancer of London, bumps into Amon Brightbourne tweed-suited, otherworldly, guided by the Grace in the middle of a London riot, she sets in motion a series of events which will span decades, continents, and a series of events which will change the world.

Hopeland is family and family is dangerous.
Review:
This techno-thriller...[is] an eccentric and adventurous love story mixed with a rich and picturesque family saga. The popping action sequences reinforce McDonald's swift and distinctive writing style.
