A Mutiny in Time (Infinity Ring #1)

She shivered from the cold and looked around. Streams of light broke through slats and holes in the ceiling, the glowing beams full of dancing motes. The place was dank and smelled of old wine. Barrels and caskets and boxes littered countless rickety shelves.

“Where are —” Dak began to whisper, but then he cut off and scrambled to his feet. He sprinted across the dirty floor of the warehouse before Sera could ask him what he was doing. She grabbed Riq’s hand and pulled him up, then they both ran after Dak.

He’d come to a stop at the door to the place. A poster had been nailed to its surface, with an artist’s pencil drawing of a man and a woman standing side by side, staring glumly at whomever might look back. Below their picture, a phrase was scrawled in big black letters, but in another language — Sera knew it must be French.

Dak was frozen. Sera couldn’t breathe. Riq glanced back and forth between them, confused.

“Those are Dak’s parents,” Sera whispered.

“What does it . . .” Dak began to ask.

Riq’s face had gone pale. He cleared his throat. Then he translated.

“Wanted. For crimes against the Revolution.”

It is up to YOU to save the French Revolution!

In 1792, the French Revolution was defeated when members of the SQ snuck into the Royal Storehouse in Paris and stole the French Blue Diamond — one of the biggest and brightest of the Crown Jewels. Above is a sketch of the blue diamond in its setting of more than a hundred smaller gems.

The SQ passed the French Blue off to King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette, who used it to bribe their way out of the city, raise an army, and brutally crush the Revolution. The SQ has controlled France ever since.

You will have to find a way to prevent this from happening. Jacques, a Revolutionary and our on-the-ground Hystorian, will be able to help you.


Good luck.

— Arin P.S. Please take photos of important sights for our records. But BE CAREFUL! Photography doesn’t exist yet in 1792, so don’t let ANYONE see your camera or they’ll know right away you’re a time traveler.





    King Louis XVI was a pretty smart guy but unfit for the role of king. He was really bad at making decisions and hated confrontation. (In other words, a perfect puppet for the SQ.)





Hystorians use Timeboxes to stash items that might help travelers from the future.




DON’T GO SWIMMING. The sewers empty directly into the Seine, the river that runs through the city. Yuck.





Be on the lookout for currency of the time period!





The French Blue, which came to be known as the Hope Diamond, is perhaps the largest and most perfect blue diamond in the world. Still, it’s rumored to be cursed. I don’t believe in that kind of thing — but you can’t say I didn’t warn you. . . .





I'm not sure who this note is from, but it seems to relate to this Break. Maybe you'll be able to figure out what it means.

Below is a sneak peek from Infinity Ring Book 2: Divide and Conquer by Carrie Ryan.



WHEN DAK told Sera there were over thirty thousand Vikings across the river, she hadn’t really understood what that meant. Now that she was standing on top of the Grand Chatelet — the huge wooden tower on the mainland guarding the northern bridge to the island city — reality hit her. Hard.

Armored men spread out as far as the eye could see, covering the ground of the mainland’s north bank more thickly than blades of grass. Even though dusk was falling fast she could see them milling around, setting up camp and sharpening weapons. In the distance, a large band of them hacked at a massive fallen tree with their axes, honing the tip of it to a point. Another group worked to set up what looked to be a complicated catapult.

It wouldn’t be long until they pointed everything they had at the ancient wall ringing the island and let loose with all their might. Sera looked behind her into the city. The wall was old and crumbling, most of it constructed over four hundred years ago by the Romans (according to Dak). She couldn’t imagine it holding up for long. Even worse, she’d counted maybe two hundred armed Parisian men during the day. Compared to the legion outside, their force was minuscule.
