As a time-crosser, Claire lives in two worlds. In 1888, she accepts a bet to race around the world in seventy-five days, hoping the journey will lead to answers about her brother, who died two years ago. But when wealthy stranger Adam Hale approaches her with a two-hundred-year-old clay pot mysteriously engraved with images from a journey she has not yet taken, Claire agrees to help him solve a centuries-old mystery and search for Martha, the woman he once loved, now lost to history.
In 1618, as an indentured midwife in a Jamestown colony shadowed by hunger, illness, and the threat of war, Claire meets Martha and discovers her story is far more complicated than Adam imagined. As Claire races against a rival competitor determined to beat her around the globe in 1888, and against a clock ticking toward her twenty-fifth birthday, her heart grows tangled across eras: drawn to Adam despite his guarded heart, tempted by a proposal from a man she could love, and haunted by a stranger who feels inexplicably familiar. With time running out on every front, Claire must decide which life--and which love--she's willing to lose in order to keep the other.
Bestselling and award-winning author Gabrielle Meyer draws you back into her Timeless series with a sweeping historical romance full of twists you won't see coming--and won't want to put down.
