"A rose can rest in the casket for a thousand years without fading. An egg can remain there for centuries without going bad. A person could lie there for a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years, completely protected from time."
What happens when the world starts to fall apart, and no one will take responsibility for mending it? Sigrun's family, along with everyone else, finds refuge from the crisis in a new technology called TimeBox®, which lets you hibernate until the world's problems solve themselves. But Sigrun's TimeBox® opens early, and she wakes to a city in chaos, overrun by nature.
Sigrun joins a roving band of kids and a wise researcher named Grace, who tells them of the ancient kingdom of Pangea, and the greedy king who wanted to protect his daughter Obsidiana from pain, gloomy days, and growing older by putting her in a silken casket that time could not penetrate. But Obsidiana learns that sabotaging time is a dangerous business, with effects that ripple outward even to the present day. Sigrun realizes it's up to her and her friends to face the crisis, break the curse, and fix the world before it's too late!
