"The Immortal Descendants series has time travel, vampires, shape shifters, but most importantly the best characters! Saira is one kick butt heroine that falls in the Katniss category. And I basically dare you not to fall in love with Ringo." This sixth book of the Immortal Descendants series is a compilation of the special 10th Anniversary edition epilogues, plus a new novella celebrating the love story of Ringo and Charlie.Their love was a quiet, slow-growing thing ...... that built from friendship, adventure, and shared experiences. In this final chapter of The Immortal Descendants series, Ringo and Charlie begin their own journey of love, laughter, and all the misadventures a pair of Victorian street urchins can encounter when they've traveled through time. Where, exactly, is home for two people who have journeyed so far, and if they find it, can they ever truly go back?

Ringo Devereux knows far too much for a man of his times. There's no simple explanation for it that doesn't involve improbable conversations about the future, and Ringo's advanced understanding of three-phase generators and the secret histories of his city are not things he can discuss with the Victorian Londoners around him. Even his origins as an orphaned street thief are far too dangerous for a young gentleman of means to reveal. An encounter with a ten-year-old pickpocket, and a luncheon with Oscar Wilde and Arthur Conan Doyle draw Ringo back into the shadows of his criminal past. A stolen gemstone, a suspicious pawnbroker, and a damning bundle of letters are mysteries that require Ringo's thief's instincts, his obscure facts, and the help of a little girl with the skills of deduction like his. But are these crimes as random as they first appear? What do a covert affair and a blue carbuncle have in common? Ringo knows too much, but someone knows more, and the identity of a mysterious red-haired woman is perhaps the most diabolically complicated plot of them all.
