M. N. Payne

To most, Tempus only exists in children’s stories but to Cara Vair, it’s her destiny.

                                    

Cara knows where her future lies—the Imperium, where the elite of her society live. To make it there, she must go through the Proving. It is a yearlong placement test, and because of a unique memory, she has no fear of accomplishing her goal. Or so she thought. Cara quickly finds that her solitary childhood hadn’t prepared her for the real world or for Alaric Chambers.

Realizing survival means she must fight, Cara tries to force away those who wish to help her. That is, until she learns there are some things she can never escape. Death, love, and Tempus.
