About this listen

Winner of the 2016 Library Journal Indie E-Book Award - YA

Seventeen-year-old tagger Saira Elian can handle anything.…

A mother who mysteriously disappears, a stranger who stalks her around London, and even the noble English grandmother who kicked Saira and her mother out of the family. But when an old graffiti tag in a Tube station transports Saira to the 19th century and she comes face-to-face with Jack the Ripper, she realizes she needs help after all.

Saira meets Archer, a mysterious university student who helps her blend in as much as a tall, modern American teen can in Victorian England. He reveals the existence of the Immortals: Time, Fate, Nature, War, and Death, and explains to Saira that it is possible to move between centuries – if you are a Descendant of Time.

Saira finds unexpected friendships at a school for Immortal Descendants and a complicated love with a young man from the past. But time is running out for her mother, and to save her, Saira must embrace her new identity as she hides from Archer a devastating secret about his future that may cost him his life.

I love the Immortal Descendants series, and hearing them given a voice by Sarah is brilliant. I have always been an audiobook fan and recently have come to increasingly rely on the medium as my primary method of reading. To have my favourite series available - in their latest carnation, with brand new epilogues - is something that I don't think I will ever take for granted.

Saira, Archer, and Ringo are part of the family I choose.

I love the Immortal Descendants series!
