This is the tale of a thief who can time travel that ends up becoming a hero in an adventure that readers will not forget anytime soon! There is a lot going on in this story, from a major that has lost all illusion to a highway woman and a war that threatens to be conducted across all of time.

The year is 1788 and readers get to meet the main character of Alice Payne for the first time. Alice has a reputation that she has spent a while earning as the Holy Ghost. This alias is a known highway robber that gets the job done along with the help of Laverna, her automaton. Those who travel the highway or do so while having a heavy purse fear her arrival and the ensuing absence of their riches as they are lifted off of them.

Meanwhile, in the year 1889, things are happening. In an attempt to save history itself, Mayor Prudence Zuniga is doing what she can. If she can just change history, maybe she can save the timeline.
