Sinopsis
passage, n.
i. A brief section of music composed of a series of
notes and flourishes.
ii. A journey by water; a voyage.
iii. The transition from one place to another, across
space and time.
In one devastating night, violin prodigy Etta Spencer
loses everything she knows and loves. Thrust into an unfamiliar world by a
stranger with a dangerous agenda, Etta is certain of only one thing: she has
traveled not just miles but years from home. And she’s inherited a legacy she
knows nothing about from a family whose existence she’s never heard of. Until
now.
Nicholas Carter is content with his life at sea, free
from the Ironwoods—a powerful family in the colonies—and the servitude he’s
known at their hands. But with the arrival of an unusual passenger on his ship
comes the insistent pull of the past that he can’t escape and the family that
won’t let him go so easily. Now the Ironwoods are searching for a stolen object
of untold value, one they believe only Etta, Nicholas’ passenger, can find. In
order to protect her, he must ensure she brings it back to them— whether she
wants to or not.
Together, Etta and Nicholas embark on a perilous
journey across centuries and continents, piecing together clues left behind by
the traveler who will do anything to keep the object out of the Ironwoods’
grasp. But as they get closer to the truth of their search, and the deadly game
the Ironwoods are playing, treacherous forces threaten to separate Etta not
only from Nicholas but from her path home . . . forever
