The Ward's Secrets. The Chronos Ward, #2

Linna's desperate secret is exposed when Agent Rho Strix of the Temporal Watchers arrives, claiming to be there to contain the anomaly, but seemingly more interested in seizing the Refraction Idol. Forced into a guarded alliance, Linna and Strix race to uncover the true purpose of the Bellwether Memorial, leading them to the sealed journals of Dr. Alphon Turel, the original architect of Room 237. They discover that the Idol was a weapon, not a cure.
Meanwhile, the temporal energy has created a new threat: the Temporal Marrow Decay or "Time Sickness, " which is rapidly spreading among the staff, including Dr. Tren. With Evie Marchand threatening to use the power for her own selfish purpose and the Temporal Watchers closing in, Linna must find a way to neutralize the Idol before the war over weaponized time consumes them all.
