'One of my absolute favourite reads of 2016, Heidi Heilig's debut
captured me completely from the first page. A lushly written
time-traveling adventure with an imaginative magical twist, real
heart and real heartbreak, and a major dash of swoon.' - Alwyn
Hamilton, author of Rebel of the Sands It was the kind of August
day that hinted at monsoons, and the year was 1774, though not for
very much longer. Sixteen-year-old Nix Song is a time-traveller.
She, her father and their crew of time refugees travel the world
aboard The Temptation, a glorious pirate ship stuffed with
treasures both typical and mythical. Old maps allow Nix and her
father to navigate not just to distant lands, but distant times -
although a map will only take you somewhere once. And Nix's father
is only interested in one time, and one place: Honolulu 1868. A
time before Nix was born, and her mother was alive. Something that
puts Nix's existence rather dangerously in question . . . Nix has
grown used to her father's obsession, but only because she's
convinced it can't work. But then a map falls into her father's lap
that changes everything. And when Nix refuses to help, her father
threatens to maroon Kashmir, her only friend (and perhaps, only
love) in a time where Nix will never be able to find him. And if
Nix has learned one thing, it's that losing the person you love is
a torment that no one can withstand. Nix must work out what she
wants, who she is, and where she really belongs before time runs
out on her forever.
