“It’s hard not to love a book that creates great characters, has a great thriller story at the center, and lets the reader do some armchair travel… is all kinds of things: it’s a bit of a romance, it’s a bit of an identity quest for Melicent, it’s an awakening for Roan… A blast of a read, pure story adrenaline.” - Mystery Scene Magazine Flashbacks to different times in history enrich the story with tragedy and hope…For fans of historical fiction who like a hint of the supernatural and cosmic connection.” ― Booklist “A mystical thrill ride, spanning several continents.

“Womack spins a suspenseful web of mysteries and murderous rivalries, connected by an underpinning of love.” ―BBC.com (Ten books to read this April)

When Roan comes across a YouTube video of a young woman who has discovered a priceless pocket watch by “sensing” it, he knows he has to warn her-but will Melicent Tilpin listen? And can Roan find Stuart before it’s too late? The quest for answers will lead Roan and Melicent around the world, and to forgotten corners of history, before it brings them closer to a startling truth and to each other in the latest romantic thriller from Gwendolyn Womack-the bestselling, PRISM Award-winning author of The Memory Painter and The Fortune Teller. The implications are staggering, but soon after the discovery, Stuart disappears, making him one of several psychometrists who have died mysteriously in recent months or vanished without a trace. Stuart, a fellow pyschometrist and Roan’s close friend, has just unearthed several “ooparts”: out-of-place-artifacts that challenge recorded history, including a ring belonging to the seventeenth century mathematician and philosopher René Descartes that was found buried in prehistoric bedrock. He has spent his life as a voyeur, using his talents to find and sell valuable antiques, but his quiet life in New Orleans is about to change. A highly skilled psychometrist, Roan is able to perceive the past of any object he touches. Roan West was born with an extraordinary gift: he can relive memories across centuries and glean history first-hand. Travel through time with the touch of a hand.
