Sixteen-year-old Nix Song is a time-traveller. She, her father, and their crew of time refugees travel the world aboard The Temptation, a glorious pirate ship stuffed with treasures both typical and mythical.

Old maps allow Nix and her father to navigate not just to distant lands, but distant times—although a map will only take you somewhere once. However, Nix's father is only interested in one time and one place: Honolulu, 1868. This is a time before Nix was born and when her mother was alive, something that puts Nix's existence rather dangerously in question.

Nix has grown used to her father's obsession, but only because she's convinced it can't work. But then, a map falls into her father's lap that changes everything. When Nix refuses to help, her father threatens to maroon Kashmir, her only friend (and perhaps, only love), in a time where Nix will never be able to find him.

If Nix has learned one thing, it's that losing the person you love is a torment that no one can withstand. Nix must work out what she wants, who she is, and where she really belongs before time runs out on her forever.

About the Author

Heidi grew up in Hawaii where she rode horses and raised peacocks, and then she moved to New York City and grew up even more, as one tends to do. Her favorite thing, outside of writing, is travel, and she has haggled for rugs in Morocco, hiked the trails of the Ko'olau Valley, and huddled in a tent in Africa while lions roared in the dark.

She holds an MFA from New York University in Musical Theatre Writing, of all things, and she's written books and lyrics for shows including The Time Travelers Convention, Under Construction, and The Hole. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband, her son, and their pet snake, whose wings will likely grow in any day now. Follow Heidi at www.heidiheilig.com or on Twitter: @heidiheilig
