The Messenger's Handbook

What if you discovered that your soul mate lived three centuries before you were even born? Sixteen-year-old Madeline learns that falling in love, and falling through time doesn't have to be accidental, could be deadly, but is worth the fight of her life. Madeline is pushed off the train tracks and wakes in 1675, the sole survivor of a Native massacre on a colonial settlement during King Philip's brutal war. Rescued and taken back to a garrison, she discovers she is a Messenger, a traveler who can slip through time's fabric at will, bringing messages that could change one life or many. Rumors of witchcraft and spying arise. But falling into a forbidden love with her soul mate Samuel, a mixed blood boy, could get them both killed. The only way Madeline can save both their lives is to train with Samuel and the Medicine Woman, confront her deepest fears and fulfill her destiny as a Messenger. But jealous Hunters, dark-souled predators as well as skilled time travelers, crave her powers and seduce her to join them. Can Madeline find the way back to her future? And will that future include her one true love, Samuel?
