Čas je vězení a jen ona má klíč.  V království Sempera se platí časem. Hodiny, dny i roky jsou extrahovány z krve a pomocí magie přetavovány v kovové mince. Bohatí aristokraté Gerlingové je neúprosně daní, a zajišťují si tak dlouhověkost. Jules Emberová kdysi na Everless žila, musela však kvůli tragédii utéct. Jenže otec teď umírá, a pokud pro něj chce získat nějaký čas, musí se vrátit do honosného sídla Gerlingů, kde na ni nečeká jen dávná minulost, ale i tíživé tajemství.

Jules Ember a jóságos Varázslónő és a gonosz Alkimista ősi mágiájáról szóló meséken nőtt fel. De apja halála után megtudja az igazságot: ő az Alkimista, és Caro, az udvarhölgy, aki hidegvérrel meggyilkolta a királynőt, és vele együtt Jules első szerelmét, Roant, nem más, mint a Varázslónő. Az egész királyság azt hiszi, hogy Jules a gyilkos, akinek a fejére busás vérdíjat tűztek ki. De Caro is minden áron el akarja pusztítani Julest, aki tizenkét élettel korábban ellopta a szívét. Julesnek most ki kell bogoznia korábbi életeiből az igazságot, hogy megmenthesse azt, aki viszont az ő szívét lopta el.  

Sempera királyságában idővel fizetnek, amelyet kivonnak a vérből, vashoz kötnek és meg is esznek azok, akik tovább akarnak élni. A tehetős arisztokraták, például a dúsgazdag Gerling-család, halálra adóztatják a szegényeket, hogy évszázadokkal megtoldhassák saját életüket. Senki sem gyűlöli jobban a Gerlingeket, mint Jules Ember, aki tíz éve az apjával együtt a szolgálatukban állt, amíg egy végzetes baleset arra nem kényszerítette őket, hogy éjnek évadján meneküljenek el a fényes kastélyból. Amikor Jules rájön, hogy az apja haldoklik, tudja, hogy vissza kell térnie Everlessbe, időt kell szereznie az apjának, mielőtt örökre elveszítené. Ám a visszatérés Everlessbe több veszéllyel - és kísértéssel jár - mint Jules várta. Hamarosan beletéved a sötét titkok mocsarába, és nem tud választani két testvér között, akikről azt hitte, hogy sohasem fogja viszontlátni őket. Döntéseivel megváltoztathatja a sorsot - sőt, magának az időnek a sorsát.
