After reuniting with her long-lost father, eighteen-year-old Elizabeth—a physics prodigy—learns he is part of a covert team developing a revolutionary teleportation device. Their progress stalls due to unsolvable equations in quantum mechanics until a powerful and manipulative tech billionaire, Ms. Wilson orchestrates Elizabeth's recruitment.
When Ms. Wilson masterminds the assassination of the U.S. President and an attack on a European summit, Elizabeth must lead a team of special agents equipped with prototype teleportation machines to rescue the President and international delegates. As Ms. Wilson unveils a weaponized system called The Dome—designed by her own team to coerce African nations into submission—Elizabeth must use her laser technology to destroy it and prevent mass devastation.
Her mission ends in betrayal and capture, leading to her imprisonment in the Kingdom of Motif, where the events of The Stone begin. Teleportation charts Elizabeth's transformation from brilliant scientist to reluctant hero, setting the stage for her deeper involvement in geopolitical conflict and technological warfare.
