Abigail was born in a religious family and got a strict Christian upbringing. In her teenage years she figured she was a timeshifter who is able to travel between 1890s and present day. It confused her greatly, and on top of that her family did not take the information well once they realized Abigail is not lying about having "strange powers". To prove herself to her parents she travels back and forth a few times bringing items to them from the future. Her parents however don't greet it as God's miracle but as a power only the devil may possess. Due to the reaction of her family and community she starts believing that the power she holds is indeed something evil and that using it is bad. After unsuccessful attempts to "remove the ability from her" she is abandoned by her church and family.

Like many newbie timeshifters, Abigail is not very careful hiding her ability, and she is soon found by a nationwide religious organization that hides well from ordinary people. Some of them are timeshifters, other are not. There's only one thing common to them all: they exist since the Middle Ages, and are convinced that being a timeshifter is unnatural, but they see the ability's potential to be used to serve their God and do the thing they see is right. They take Abigail in like a member of family and guide her towards using her ability. She especially enjoys the company of a young priest called Tate Heilig, who is a timeshifter too.

Abigail soon learns that the organization is all about killing timeshifters that don't convert to the organization. There is only one simple rule: unless absolutely necessary, do not kill anyone who is not a timeshifter. Lately, the organization has been after a criminal called Carol Cole, whose gang of 20 or more men is known to repeatedly appear out of nowhere to commit a big robbery in the 1890s, massacre people and then disappear back to modern day without leaving a trace.

Despite Tate's wishes, Abigail doesn't wish to convert into one of the Alliance's most dedicated servants, referred to as the Crusaders. The Crusaders deny using any unfair advantage from timeshifting and only use traditional weapons like swords for their training and missions. In exchange for joining Tate offered Abigail a sword adorned with the Templars' symbol, one that once belonged to Tate's ancestors before Tate became the last member left in their long lineage, but Abigail much prefers modern firearms. If she had chosen the path of a Crusader, she and Tate might not have gotten separated later, but she wasn't told this little detail about the Alliance's customs.

After Abigail's training is over, she and her mentor Tate part ways and she is sent to go after Carol Cole's posse. It is unknown to her where Tate goes as the organization strictly protects the locations of its members. Abigail and other agents spend years tracing Cole across the country, managing to snag one of his gang members every now and then but never Cole himself. Abigail keeps writing to Tate through the organization but he never returns a letter. One day Abigail is alone on a mission in 1890s when she thinks she found Carol. The red haired man matches the pictures, and Abigail kills him. She gets scarred to the face when Cole tries to fight back, but she wins. Only later she learns that the man was not Carol Cole but his brother Viktor Cole, who was unable to timeshift and only occasionally involved with Carol. Carol is furious upon hearing his brother has been killed. Abigail also learns the reason behind the rule of not taking advantage of your powers to kill innocent bystanders. Soon after the incident her eyes start to turn orange and she needs to wear contact lenses to conceal it. She also gets a letter from Tate who invites her to see him after hiding for years. Tate manages to assure Abigail not to give up and to keep going after Carol Cole.
