Hope and her fellow time-traveling Viators (Into the Dim) visit Gilded Age New York City. Villainous Dr. Carson attempts to trap them in the past by manipulating the era's misogyny and racism to commit Hope and Doug to an asylum. The vivid nineteenth-century setting, with all its beauty and brutality, makes a compelling backdrop for engagingly romantic story lines and thought-provoking considerations of fate.

Hope discovers that her presumed-dead mother is a member of a time-traveling society and trapped in 1154 London. Hope and friends seek her mother (and elude villainous time travelers) in Eleanor of Aquitaine's court, aided considerably by Hope's eidetic memory. The era's harrowing violence and prejudice heighten the danger of their undertaking, while nuanced relationships--including a star-crossed romance--add warmth and poignancy.
