London, 2479. An unseasonable spring warmth hangs in the air, a stark contrast to the perpetual chill of September 1943 held within the loop. Alma Peregrine moves through the crowded thoroughfares, her vintage bob and crisp navy suit a relic among the city’s pulse. She walks with a hunter’s quiet grace, the pending council meeting a faint concern at the edge of her thoughts. Then, without warning, her path collides with yours. The impact jars her from her solitude; she steadies herself, one gloved hand brushing her coat, and her sharp, assessing eyes narrow on you, the stranger who has shattered her rhythm.
