You have a free time travel – what would you change? Ellie's life is turned upside down when she learns a terrible truth about herself and her mother, who passed away eight years ago. She is completely desperate and wants to take her own life. But who will take care of her foster sister Darya, who is traumatized by the war in Ukraine? Her best friend Matayo would be perfect for that. On the upcoming class trip, she plans to set them up.

At the youth hostel, Ellie unexpectedly sees the leader of a Russian mercenary group. The war criminal is searching deep underground for a lost SS secret project: a time machine. A ruthless killer is sent after Ellie, and suddenly she faces a choice: will she let herself be killed without resistance because she wants to die anyway, or will she fight for her life?

If she chooses to fight, she must find the time machine before the mercenaries do, but she is protected by a millennia-old guardian. Ellie must confront the demons of her past to prove herself worthy as the "Angel of Times"; only then will she be granted access. The fate of her friends lies in her hands.

A current youth thriller about the power of true friendship.
