EMERALD GREEN
Gwen and Gideon both possess the time travel gene and have had to travel back in history several times in RUBY RED and SAPPHIRE BLUE, to accomplish missions for their families’ secret society, the lodge run by Count St. Germain. When Gwen meets Lucy and Paul, two time travelers on the run from the lodge, she starts to doubt the creepy Count’s motives. When Gideon confesses his declaration of love for her was just a ruse to help the Count, Gwen is devastated. She doesn’t have time to nurse her broken heart, however, since the world is once again turned upside down by inexplicable events. Gwen and Gideon find themselves on the trail of a huge conspiracy that leads them on a wild goose chase through time and will forever alter their destiny. Nothing less than immortality is at stake!
