In this unique, fast-paced twist on the time-travel genre and the first book in a trilogy, sixteen-year-old Alex is a spinner—one of a rare few who can rewind time to review past events at a devastating cost
Hated and feared because of her ability to find the truth, sixteen-year-old Alex lives with the rest of the small population of spinners at Centers—compounds created to house and protect them. Alex's society uses the spinners' skills to solve major crimes but messing with time comes with consequences: no spinner ever lives past the age of twenty.
At sixteen, Alex is in her prime—until time sickness strikes early. When she is offered an experimental treatment, Alex sees a future for herself for the first time. But the promising medication offers more than just a cure—it also brings with it new alarming consequences.
