Through a series of telescoping stories, "Well in Time" plunges back from the present day through medieval Europe to ancient Egypt in quest of the origins of an object of magical power. Novelist Calypso Searcy is gifted an ancient golden locket that confers the ability to know the future through dreams. It opens intriguing vistas into history, but while writing her account of the locket's past, disaster strikes in the present. Rancho Cielo, the ranch she and her lover Javier Cartena have created with their own hands in Mexico's Copper Canyon, comes under attack by a Mexican drug cartel. Leaving Javier to defend the ranch with his army of hands, Calypso embarks with her friend Hill on a wild escape that takes them through remote and treacherous territory and delivers them into the hands of a mysterious group, the Ghosts, who may be more dangerous than the cartel from which they are fleeing. As the stories of the locket and of Calypso's escape weave together, parallels appear that cause her to question who she really is, and what the real meaning of her life might be. The sequel to the acclaimed novel "Fiesta of Smoke," "Well In Time" is based in actual historical events and in the wisdom of timeless mysteries known as the Perennial Philosophy. It is a singular reading experience.
