Along the canals outside of Marple, England, a despondent and lonely soul crosses paths with Temperance Lee?a woman whose beauty and elegance is matched only by her warmth, intelligence, charm, and wit. Their connection is instant, a love that defies explanation. But Temperance harbours a secret, one that shadows her every step: she is not an ordinary woman and she is not from this time.

In this electrifying split-time, dual-narrative saga that melds the Victorian era with the twenty-first century, love collides with the supernatural in a dramatic and action-filled tale of healing, redemption, and recovery. As a passionate and tumultuous romance unfolds, two souls from different times and places find that their love does not come without challenges and troubles; challenges and troubles that they must overcome together whilst they confront their past traumas. But it will take more than just time?it will take understanding, exploration, faith, and unwavering belief in the power of love.
