Eileen Davis was a timid woman. Through a fateful cruise she finds herself in the company of the Captain of the Mistral Thief. With his guidance, and the meddling of the local barista, she eventually finds her inner strength.

Will the two of them unite through time to fulfill the promise of their ancestors or will tempers ignite leading all to failure?

True love's magic is not to avoid changes,
But to navigate them successfully.

Second on the Right Review

There is a lot going on in this novel, which takes the story of Peter Pan and puts a sinister twist to it. As the tale unfolds it becomes clear who each character from the original Neverland story are meant to be. In the first instance Elizabeth Los has a very original idea here and she executes it well. The book is suspenseful, the characters real, and plot tight. The aspects of time travel and fantasy are very cleverly woven into the story through the use of protagonists' dreams. I found myself applauding the author for her smart cliff-hanger type endings to chapters and her realistic handling of difficult background and time swaps in the plot. Secondly, I found her style sometimes a little odd since she tends to switch POV in some instances quite suddenly, but overall I did not find it detracted from the flow of the novel. This is a very good and imaginative rendition of the Captain Hook saga. (I had an ARC in which it is customary to find style and grammar errors, so it is likely that the retail version will not have these issues.)
