When Floriana wakes up in a different timeline, she thinks she's dreaming.
Turns out that ring she discovered in her dead mother's closet was some kind of a time travel device.
When Clocksworth Academy sends her a letter, Anna – the woman who raised Floriana after her parents had died – insists that she goes.

EVERYONE in the Academy seems to know that her parents were time travelers and members of The Order of the Black Rose – an ancient special time travelers unit, the rockstars of the Clocksworth Academy.
Everyone also knows that her mother was lost in time while saving her best friend, Anna.

How could Anna keep that secret from her?

Floriana feels like she is a great disappointment and Eric, her mentor, seems to share the same opinion. Only Egon, one of the Academy's teachers and Eric's best friend, seems to believe that she's going to be as great as her parents were.

Suddenly, tragedy strikes and now Floriana is asked to work against the clock to thwart some of Hitler's efforts to create a legion of superhuman zombie-soldiers that will wreak havoc on mankind in 1940.

However, all Floriana cares about is learning this time travel stuff so she can find her mother.

She has a bad feeling though that her mom doesn't want to be found. And she wants to know why.

Only to find out that she shouldn't.
