The man bites his bottom lip and meets her eyes as his face begins to shutter.  "I see, I'm early."
	"Do you know me?"
	"This was as close as I could get so suddenly, and I had to see you.  I watched you die.  I watch you die in my arms."

One second Sid's a perfectly normal girl, the next she's being kissed on the stairs of her new high school by a boy she's never met. He knows her. She doesn't know him, at least not yet.

She's never met her father, but after her mother dies during a mugging-gone-wrong, that's exactly where she ends up.  With her pro-basketball playing father, his brood of five kids, and his new model-turned-designer wife.  It's the last place she's ever wanted to be.

It's the tip of the iceberg.

She's never been normal.  She's a Traveller, innately capable of jumping through time and space.  The first time it's an accident.  The second time she's pushed.  And by the third she realizes she's in over her head.  Everyone knows her but she's never met them before including a secret society that tries to kill her the first time she ever lays eyes on them.

Sid's jumped headfirst into the middle of a centuries old battle.  She has to figure out the rules before she winds up dead in some foreign time and country.  And she thought living with her father would be the hard part.

Imagine this. You close your eyes for merely a second and when you open them, it's the year 2040. Everything is different. The very world as you know it today is contrary to your current reality. There's are no regular chocolate bars like sneakers or mars, there's no such thing as iPhone or Tesla, attending government school is absolutely compulsory in some parts of the world, there's no freedom to move around or travel through different countries or even different states within your own country. There are two major alliances of countries; The Union and the Confederates which are in a constant struggle for power after a war in 2035 that divided the world. In the midst of all of this, life seems to be going perfectly well for seventeen year old Saylor Cohen in the new world she has found herself in. She lives somewhat of a double life. Her father is a spy majorly known for his role as a government official and they live a life of luxury and wealth. She seems to be adjusting to the new rules imposed by the government including attending compulsory government school while trying to live under intense secrecy to protect her father's secrets. Her struggles to attain any form of normalcy in her life soon ebbs away when her life is turned upside down as she is expected to entertain a guest she despises. She finds herself in relationships she knows her father would never approve of and worst of all, she starts receiving mysterious letters from an unknown source. She follows the promptings and instructions of these strange letters as they promise to lead her to some important information about a ground breaking truth that's been hidden from her. The only problem is, the letters she guards and hopes will answer all her burning questions ends up being the very thing that endangers her the most.

*UNDERGOING EDITING AND SMALL CHANGES RANKED #1 IN #DADSBESTFRIEND TROPE My gaze was fixed on Weston, wanting to look away so he didn't see me but unable to, and so when he whipped his head in my direction, he looked me square in the eyes. I was painfully aware of how I was sitting on Dego's lap, his arm around my waist, mine around his neck. I couldn't move, couldn't breathe, and he didn't either for several time stopping seconds. Then he slowly took a step in my direction, and kept walking until he was standing directly in front of Dego and I. •~•~•~•~•~•~••~~• Two years ago Avery Blackwood's father met and married a demure Sunday school teacher, who, within a matter of months, spent his entire savings and completely wiped out everything he'd done over the years, wrapping up the whole thing by having an affair. Her father divorced the woman, but it was too late to save the families finances, and before they could even begin to get back on their feet, Daniel Blackwood is deployed to the middle east, leaving Avery with her wealthy cousins to try and acclimate to an environment foreign to the one she was raised in. The pressure builds until Avery makes the choice to leave, her destination over halfway across the country; her brothers ranch in southeastern Colorado. The only obstacles-she has fifty dollars to her name and no car, and her controlling aunt standing in the way. Influenced by a childhood of war and action movies, Avery, armed with a bowie knife and determination, simply heads out the back door and doesn't look back. She isn't expecting her envisioned trek across America to end so soon; a chance meeting with a family friend and neighbor who feels responsible for his friends daughter causes her to alter her plans. Within the few days she is with Weston Travers, she falls for him, and falls hard, but falling in love with someone ten years her senior may not have the fairytale ending every girl dreams about.
