Fantasy | Romance Time Travel
In Bee Ridgway’s wonderfully imaginative debut novel, a
man and a woman travel through time in a quest to bring down
a secret society that controls the past and, thus, the
future.“You are now a member of the Guild.
There is no return.” Two hundred years after he was about to
die on a Napoleonic battlefield, Nick Falcott, soldier and
aristocrat, wakes up in a hospital bed in modern London. The
Guild, an entity that controls time travel, showers him with
life's advantages. But Nick yearns for home and for one
brown-eyed girl, lost now down the centuries. Then the Guild
asks him to break its own rule. It needs Nick to go back to
1815 to fight the Guild’s enemies and to find something
called the Talisman.In 1815, Julia Percy mourns
the death of her beloved grandfather, an earl who could play
with time. On his deathbed he whispers in her ear:
“Pretend!” Pretend what? When Nick returns home as if from
the dead, older than he should be and battle scarred, Julia
begins to suspect that her very life depends upon the
secrets Grandfather never told her. Soon enough Julia and
Nick are caught up in an adventure that stretches up and
down the river of time. As their knowledge of the Guild and
their feelings for each other grow, the fate of the future
itself is hanging in the balance.
