Review
"In her stellar debut, Ridgway manages the permutations of the time-travel trope with originality and aplomb." - "Booklist"
"A highly entertaining romp; [Ridgway's] historical details are accurate, and the characters are believable. Fans of Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" series should enjoy this time-traveling romantic adventure, which may also attract readers who like historical fiction with a twist." -"Library Journal"
"Ridgway offers a well-crafted blend of science fiction, romance, mystery, and historical fiction." - "Publishers Weekly"
"A compelling race through time in a historical world turned upside down--the Regency as you've never seen it before. Take one nobleman and one gently born lady; add time travel, intrigue, a vast conspiracy, and a wicked way with words; shake; and serve." -Lauren Willig, author of The Pink Carnation series
"While on its shining surface "The River of No Return" is a fantastical time traveling page turner, it is also a novel that takes on complex issues of culture and nationalism and how or memories form us. And it is a riveting love story to boot. Bee Ridgway is a treasure and her debut is a triumph." -Jennifer Gilmore, author of "Golden Country" and "Something Red"
From the Back Cover
'First, he learned the Rules of the Guild.
There were only four:
There is No Return.
There is No Return.
Tell No One.
Uphold the Rules . . .'
On a battlefield in 1815 Lord Nicholas Falcott faces death and instead of dying jumps two hundreds years into the future. There he learns that he is one of a band of mysterious time travellers called the Guild. He may have escaped death, but he is not free as the Guild's rules forbid returning to his old life lest he tear the fabric of time. Yet Nick yearns for 1815 and Julia Percy, the young woman to whom he'd like to give his heart. If he breaks the rules he risks unravelling the past and the future. If he doesn't he'll never see his lost love again . . .
