In the neo-Victorian cityscape of Neo-London, where gaslight mingles with nascent genetic engineering, Alistair Finch, a meek clerk deemed unfit for advancement by his aristocratic family, discovers a strange, artifact during a city-wide dig. This 'Chrysalis' resonates with a forbidden energy, granting him fragmented visions of a forgotten past and unlocking a latent ability: Chronal Distortion – the power to manipulate time within a limited sphere. Branded an anomaly by the powerful Eugenics Guild, Alistair must master his burgeoning powers, unravel the secrets of the Chrysalis, and choose between conforming to a preordained destiny or forging a new path in a world on the brink of evolutionary upheaval.
