She's also a holographic tattoo-bearing member of the Order, the ancient group that keeps the secret of zero point crystals. She's beginning to adjust to her own Black crystal bond and to the special powers her bond has given herâ€"powers any government on earth would kill to possess. That's a lot for an eighteen year old to be. In this second book of the Zero Point series, Roxanne Wyatt is planning to go back in time to rescue her father.

Instead, another immortal, a mysterious Englishman named Marco Benalcázar, rescues herâ€"or does he? Is he protecting her, or is he really holding her captive?
