The Towpath:
When The Redeemer learns about an ancient medallion that will allow her to go back in time to prevent her teenage daughter’s suicide, she and her band of seventeenth-century Iroquois warriors embark on a mission to recover it. The only problem, however, is Aaron Porter, a shy fourteen-year-old with a garbage-picking hobby, who has discovered the medallion first. And he has his own plans for it.
Now, hot on the trail of Aaron and his friends, The Redeemer won’t hesitate to recover what’s rightfully hers.
How far would you go to prevent the death of someone you love, and when? The Redeemer knows, and that’s why she’ll travel across centuries, removing anyone who stands in her way.
