When Dana first meets Rufus on a Maryland plantation, he's drowning. She saves his life - and it will happen again and again.
Neither of them understands his power to summon her whenever his life is threatened, nor the significance of the ties that bind them.
And each time Dana saves him, the more aware she is that her own life might be over before it's even begun.
This is the extraordinary story of two people bound by blood, separated by so much more than time.
Wow, just wow. This book is incredible - Dana is a time traveller. As a woman of colour, her life is in danger in 1815 even though she saves Rufus' life several times. Dana has no control over when she travels back in time, whenever Rufus' life is in danger, she is pulled back in time. Thr racism is infuriating.
After listening to the audiobook, I started watching the TV series based on this book. Though there are some major differences, it is definitely a must watch series!
