Publisher Description
Seventeen-year-old tagger Saira Elian can handle anything... a mother who mysteriously disappears, a stranger who stalks her around London, and even the noble English Grandmother who kicked Saira and her mother out of the family. But when an old graffiti tag in a tube station transports Saira to the 19th Century and she comes face-to-face with Jack the Ripper, she realizes she needs help after all.
Saira meets Archer, a charming student who helps her blend in as much as a tall, modern American teen can in Victorian England. He reveals the existence of the Immortals: Time, Nature, Fate, War and Death, and explains to Saira that it is possible to move between centuries – if you are a Descendant of Time.
Saira finds unexpected friendships at a boarding school for Immortal Descendants and a complicated love with a young man from the past. But time is running out for her mother, and Saira must embrace her new identity as she hides from Archer a devastating secret about his future that may cost him his life.

I absolutely fell in love with these characters! Ringo was such a funny character. I don’t know how may different times I laughed out loud with something hilarious he said. I’m late to the game in finding this series, but it is one I’m going to be finishing! As a lover of historical things, I LOVED the time travel aspects that were portrayed. Can’t wait to start book 2!
Read this!
What a page-turner! A wonderful series packed with mystery, thrills, and romance- and best of all, it’s well-written and flows very nicely!
