While digging around in their father's shed one day, they find some old boxes with the word "NASA" printed on them.

They also discover a top-secret file containing abandoned blueprints for a tiny, silver box that allows people to travel through time.

Inside the land of Miradel lies the Kingdom of Petroset, where a little boy tried to hide a horrible secret from everyone. Yet even as Tyson endures an unjust nightmare in the king's court, he is strangely comforted by the warm eyes of the king's daughter, Annaliessa. Tyson realizes that he and the beautiful girl share something in common- a father that never loved them. More than a decade later, Miradel is a land steeped in a witch's curse that binds Princess Annaliessa to five princes. Forced to choose one to marry even though she is not in love with any of them, Annaliessa knows she must produce an heir to the throne soon or be forever bound to her father's violent tendencies. As all five princes compete for her affection, Annaliessa secretly hopes for a miracle that will carry her away forever. When an earthquake strikes Petroset, Annaliessa thinks her wish is coming true as she escapes in the arms of her hero, Tyson, who saves her from certain death. Oblivious to what is happening around her, Annaliessa is about to become trapped in revenge's web of lies and betrayal. Is one man's love enough to save her from the scars revenge leaves behind? In this fantasy tale, temptation, sacrifice, and the power of unconditional love fuel a journey of self-discovery for a young woman who only wants one thing-true happiness.
