All Etta Spencer wanted was to make her violin debut when she was thrust into a treacherous world where the struggle for power could alter history. After losing the one thing that would have allowed her to protect the Timeline, and the one person worth fighting for, Etta wakes up alone in an unknown place and time, exposed to the threat of the two groups who would rather see her dead than succeed. When help arrives, it comes from the last person Etta ever expected - Julian Ironwood, the Grand Master's heir who has long been presumed dead, and whose dangerous alliance with a man from Etta's past could put them both at risk.
Meanwhile, Nicholas and Sophia are racing through time in order to locate Etta and the missing astrolabe with Ironwood travellers hot on their trail. They cross paths with a mercenary-for-hire, a cheeky girl named Li Min, who quickly develops a flirtation with Sophia. But as the three of them attempt to evade their pursuers, Nicholas soon realizes that one of his companions may have ulterior motives.
As Etta and Nicholas fight to make their way back to one another, from Imperial Russia to the Vatican catacombs, time is rapidly shifting and changing into something unrecognizable ... and might just run out on both of them.

Wayfarer is the excellent second and final installment in Alexandra Bracken's duology 'Passenger' which follows the time travelling teen Etta Spencer as she begins her journey through time and the vicious war fought between the travelling families. Joined by the pirate Nicholas Carter, the two escaped the clutches of the Ironwood family in search of the astrolobe. Wayfarer comes with a whole new set of threats for the pair to face, now separated and forced, once again to find trusted allies. Both Etta and Carter must put their lives on the line for each other, themselves, Etta's own sly mother and for the sake of time travel itself. Bracken continues to explore her grand world of time travel, mystery, treachery and romance throughout Wayfarer; it is a fantastic conclusion to the story which began in Passenger. - Rebecca (QBD)
