Three friends. A stone.
And a storm that changes everything.
Spider, Micha and T.O. think they’re heading to a summer archaeology program. They have no idea they’re about to become time travelers.
When Spider picks up a glowing artifact just as a storm hits, the three friends are hurled into 1820s Maryland, where they witness a foundational moment in American history.
But these stories are disappearing. Someone is erasing them from the future, and the three friends may be the only ones who can save them.
“They’re not just reading about heroes. They’re learning how to become one.”
