Frankie is a member of the Black Opals - a team of female warriors who protect the world by travelling through time. The team consists of Frankie and her sisters and is run by their mother - the ability to time travel is passed down through the female line. For the last 300 years there have been artificial jumpers who travel through time & across different planets to try and change the future and the Black Opals are the only ones who can stop them.The New Order have discovered a way to find the predestined mates of the Black Opals and they are travelling back in time to try and eliminate them. Dekkar is the first on their hit list and it is Frankie's job to find and protect him.
I really enjoyed this short story - Juliana has given us a good insight to the world she has created and has given us some interesting characters. I really liked Frankie - she is strong and smart and very good at her job but is looking for something more from life. What can I say about Dekkar? Well, he is Hot with a capital H! A modern day rock star who lives a life of excess but is searching for someone to spend his life with. His character was inspired by Nikki Sixx who I'd never heard of before but you can find a great picture of him on Juliana's blog.
If there was anything I didn't like about the story it would have been that the fight with the New Order was over a little too quickly but considering it is a short story Juliana managed to get an awful lot of information in there & I'm really looking forward to reading the next installment.
