Într-o noapte, prodigioasa violonistă Etta Spencer pierdea tot ceea ce cunoștea și iubea. Aruncată într-o lume îndepărtată de către un străin cu intenții bizare, Etta știe că e foarte departe de casă.
Ea a moștenit ceva despre care nu știe nimic din partea unei familii despre care nu știe nimic. Până acum.
Nicholas Carter este împlinit cu viața lui petrecută pe mare, eliberat de Ironwood, puternica sa familie din Colonii.
Dar sosirea unui pasager neașteptat pe nava sa vine cu o insistentă explorarea a trecutului pe care nu o poate evita.
Acum familia Irownwood caută un obiect furat de mare valoare, iar Etta Spencer este singura care îl poate găsi.
Pentru a o proteja, Nicholas trebuie să se asigure că Etta va aduce înapoi neprețuitul obiect.
Cei doi se îmbarcă într-o călătorie periculoasă dincolo de secole și continente punând cap la cap indicii lăsate în urmă de un călător care ține cu tot dinadinsul ca familia Ironwood să ajungă la acel îndelung căutat obiect.

Descriere scurtă
Violin prodigy Etta Spencer had big plans for her future, but a tragedy has put her once-bright career at risk. Closely tied to her musical skill, however, is a mysterious power she doesn't even know she has. When her two talents collide during a stressful performance, Etta is drawn back hundreds of years through time.
Etta wakes, confused and terrified, in 1776, in the midst a fierce sea battle. Nicholas Carter, the handsome young prize master of a privateering ship, has been hired to retrieve Etta and deliver her unharmed to the Ironwoods, a powerful family in the Colonies--the very same one that orchestrated her jump back, and one Nicholas himself has ties to. But discovering she can time travel is nothing compared to the shock of discovering the true reason the Ironwoods have ensnared her in their web.
Another traveler has stolen an object of untold value from them, and, if Etta can find it, they will return her to her own time. Out of options, Etta and Nicholas embark on a perilous journey across centuries and continents, piecing together clues left behind by the mysterious traveler. But as they draw closer to each other and the end of their search, the true nature of the object, and the dangerous game the Ironwoods are playing, comes to light--threatening to separate her not only from Nicholas, but her path home...forever.
Descriere
-New York Times Book Review
"Ambitious and exquisite."
-Sarah J. Maas, New York Times #1 best-selling author of the A Court of Thorns and Roses series
Nicholas Carter is content with his life at sea, free from the Ironwoods-a powerful family in the Colonies-and the servitude he's known at their hands. But with the arrival of an unusual passenger on his ship comes the insistent pull of the past that he can't escape and the family that won't let him go so easily. Now the Ironwoods are searching for a stolen object of untold value, one they believe only Etta, his passenger, can find. In order to protect her, Nick must ensure she brings it back to them-whether she wants to or not.
Together, Etta and Nicholas embark on a perilous journey across centuries and continents, piecing together clues left behind by the traveler who will do anything to keep the object out of the Ironwoods' grasp. But as they get closer to the truth of their search, and the deadly game the Ironwoods are playing, treacherous forces threaten to separate Etta not only from Nicholas but from her path home forever.
