Passenger (Passenger Series, Vol. 1) (Passenger, #1)
by Alexandra Bracken
'GRABS YOU BY THE HEART FROM ITS OPENING NOTES AND DOESN'T LET GO UNTIL ITS KNOCKOUT, BLOCKBUSTER FINALE.'
-- Sarah J. Maas, New York Times bestselling author of the Throne of Glass seriesIn one devastating night, violin prodigy Etta Spencer loses everything she knows and loves. Pulled back through time to 1776 in the midst of a fierce sea battle, she has travelled not only miles, but years from home.
With the arrival of this unusual passenger on his ship, privateer Nicholas Carter has to confront a past that he can't escape and the powerful Ironwood family who won't let him go without a fight. Now the Ironwoods are searching for a stolen object of untold value; one they believe only Etta can find.
Together, Etta and Nicholas embark on a perilous journey across centuries and continents, piecing together clues left behind by an enigmatic traveller. 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 from Nicholas, and her way home, forever.
The first book in this highly anticipated duology from the New York Times bestselling author of The Darkest Minds trilogy.

'An ambitious and exquisite symphony of adventure, romance, and dynamic characters, Passenger grabs you by the heart from its opening notes and doesn't let go until its knockout, blockbuster finale.' -Sarah J. Maas, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Throne of Glass series.
