An impossible arrival
A small museum. A chronoscope hidden in its basement. Two young women trying to save each other – and discovering that helping someone is not the same as deciding their life for them.
Leonie recognises the city, yet nothing fits. Her group is gone, her jacket has vanished, and the year is two thousand years earlier than it should be.
Jule disappears from the museum’s group photograph. Leonie stands in her place – as if the image has rewritten more than a single moment.
A call reaches a number that should not exist. Their own voices answer from a reality where the same afternoon has already taken a different path.
The closer they get to the truth, the more urgent the question becomes: can both of them get home without taking over the other’s life?
“Your face is in the photograph. But it is her life.”
Across two timelines
The novel combines time-travel suspense with friendship, self-determination and a question that grows stranger with every clue: how solid is the boundary between two minds?
Altered photographs, borrowed memories and a machine that seems to know Leonie and Jule better than they know themselves.
Neither woman has to disappear for the other to win. Their connection can become a strength – if each keeps her own place.
The story reads uninterrupted. Afterwards, 21 puzzles invite readers back into its clues, followed by a separate solutions section.
