Insidious experiments, a supernatural storm, and the manipulation of time itself. Martin Rank is still reeling from the Cagliostro’s shocking final performance, plagued by a bone-deep chill he can’t seem to shake. When he receives a cryptic cry for help, Martin begins investigating a tech firm connected to the Cagliostro that he and the Mountaineers suspect may be manipulating magic users in their clandestine research. An investigation that will put Martin in the crosshairs of a society that's controlled magic from the shadows for centuries. Halfway around the world, Deirdre follows the secret path her father laid out for her. Using his journals to uncover clues that may help her understand her past, she’s confronted by a dark force hellbent on stopping her, Martin, and the Mountaineers. With time running out to unlock The Book of Briars, and a relentless, living Storm menacing on the horizon, Deirdre finds the echoes of a lost world of magic, and soon realizes that to understand her past, she may have to leave her old life behind. Cosmos & Time is the thrilling conclusion to The Monarch Papers series, based on the groundbreaking interactive experience. The events established in Flora & Fauna come to a critical head as Deirdre, Martin, and the Mountaineers race to unlock the Book of Briars before it’s lost forever. The truth of our world hangs in the balance, but all truth comes at a cost, and the Mountaineers may have to choose between sacrificing everything they believe in, or losing one of their own.
