The River of No Return

Więcej o książce

Nicholas Davenant lives a lie. Single, handsome and wealthy, his perfect life is a façade constructed to hide the incredible truth - he was born two hundred years ago. Somehow, in the face of certain death, Nicholas inexplicably jumped forward in time and awoke to find himself in the care of a mysterious society. The Guild, a secretive fraternity of time travellers, helped him make a new life in the modern world. They told him that there is no return. But Nicholas yearns for home and for one beautiful woman in particular, now lost to history. Back in 1815, that very woman, Julia Percy, finds herself the guardian of a family secret: a strange talent inherited from her enigmatic grandfather. But there are those who seek to possess Julia's power, and she begins to realize she is in the gravest peril. The Guild, breaking its own rules, sends Nicholas back to the nineteenth century and his ancestral home. Fate and the fraying fabric of time draw him and Julia together once again . . . and soon enough, they are caught up in an adventure that puts the future of the world into their hands.
