    About this ebook

    In a single moment, her life was no longer her own…

    On the streets of Peking, Sparrow survives by picking pockets and stealing food from street vendors, until the day she touches an item that sends her hurtling through time, awakening a power in her she cannot control or understand.

    Sparrow is forced to use her "trick" to tell fortunes, an endeavor that is exhausting at best, and deadly at worst. Every day becomes a nightmare that Sparrow is afraid she will never escape.

    But then she catches the attention of the Empress herself. A woman of immeasurable cruelty and power—the woman with the ability to change Sparrow's destiny forever…

    Don't miss The Child's Curse, the exciting prequel to the Touching Time Trilogy.
