Time's Twisted Arrow Book One of the CHRONOS Files

In the year 2307, historians are born with a genetic license to time-travel and are sent out with strict orders to observe everything and change nothing. But when a violent act of sabotage strands twenty-three CHRONOS historians at various points in time, it triggers a chain of events that will alter history and potentially erase more than half of the human population. In TIME'S TWISTED ARROW, the first book of The CHRONOS Files, seventeen-year old Kate learns that she has inherited designer DNA when her grandmother arrives with a strange medallion that she claims only Kate and a few other descendants of the CHRONOS historians can operate. Kate soon finds herself in an alternate reality. Leaders of a previously unknown religion now hold great power and her grandmother has been murdered somewhere in the past. Her mother never existed, her father doesn't know her, and she has – rather inconveniently – managed to fall in love. In order to restore the time line, Kate must travel back to 1893 and keep herself and her grandmother clear of the serial killer, H.H. Holmes, who is stalking young women at the Chicago World's Fair. Unfortunately, other descendants of CHRONOS have a very different agenda.
