Gwen has to accompany fellow time-traveler Gideon, who seems to be a handsome, stuck-up prick. With him, she meets the mysterious and dangerous 'Count', fights some would-be assassins, and meets her estranged cousin back in time. All in all, a very good book.
My only issues with the book is that this first book seems to be mostly world-building and setting up for the rest of the series. We only really get to the action and time-travel around half-way through the book, and most of the rest is setting up for future adventures. Gwen learns the basics of time-travel, the family drama, and some of what it means to be the 'Ruby'. The prologue is a bit confusing, but I managed to figure most of it out by the end of the book.
