Fresh from finishing her Ph.D., Madeline Maxwell (aka Max) runs into her high school mentor
who encourages her to apply for a position with a cloistered group of historians called St.
Mary’s Institute of Historical Research.

Think of History as a living organism, with its own defence mechanisms. History will not
permit anything to change events that have already taken place. If History thinks, even
for one moment, that that is about to occur, then it will, without hesitation, eliminate
the threatening virus. Or historian, as we like to call them.
