Bookroo's summary

In 1763, Peter and Kate are thrust into a fractured timeline where history teeters on the brink. Kate, now an oracle, sees the future's shadows, while Gideon grapples with his brother, The Tar Man, a nemesis with the power to alter destiny. As time quakes threaten, they chase him through London's dark alleys, realizing he may control the fate of all. Can they stop him before time unravels completely?

From the publisher

Time itself is splintering. If the catastrophic consequences of time travel are now impossible to ignore, Lord Luxon only has eyes for its awesome possibilities. He has his sights set on no lesser prize than America. Abducted to 1763, Peter and Kate begin to understand that history has arrived at its tipping point. Adrift in time, Kate transforms into an oracle, able to see the future as easily as the past. While Gideon does all he can to help, he is tormented by the knowledge that The Tar Man, his nemesis, is also his own brother. As they pursue him through the dark streets of eighteenth-century London, and the time quakes begin, Peter realises that this monster may hold the fate of all of us in his hands.
