![]() How and why Charlotte was groomed for the role instead of Gwen is part of the mystery that is unraveled as the story progresses. Suddenly, the chosen female turns out to be Gwen, not Charlotte, and Gwen is thrust into a life for which she was not prepared at all. Eighteen-year-old Gideon has already been active for two years. ![]() Anyway, Gwen has a “power” of her own – she can see, and communicate with, ghosts from the past (even though no one believes her except her best friend Lesley).Īccording to the writings of The Guardians (quoted at the beginning of each chapter), there is often a pair of travelers alive at any one time – a male and a female. Although her family descended from the chronologically sensitive line, it was always expected that her cousin, Charlotte, would be the one with the gene. Gwyneth never gave much thought to time travel. They developed a “chronograph” to send gene-carrying people to specific periods on a regular basis, thus rendering the activity more predictable. This can obviously be quite inconvenient as well as dangerous, so a sub rosa society evolved: “The Guardians” – who not only act to keep the trait itself a secret, but help exert control over the traveling impulse. ![]() Gwyneth Shepherd, born in 1994, is now 16, the age at which those few who inherit the time-travel gene start to travel at unexpected times into the past. ![]()
