About The Book
Paris was supposed to save Hallie. Now… Well, let’s just say Paris has other ideas.
There’s a strange woman called The Chronometrist who will not leave her alone. Garbled warnings from bizarre creatures keep her up at night. And there’s a time portal in the keg room of the bar where she works.
Soon, Hallie is tumbling through the turbulent past and future Paris, making friends, changing the world — and falling in love.
But with every trip, Hallie loses a little of herself, and every infinitesimal change she makes ripples through time, until the future she’s trying to save suddenly looks nothing like what she hoped for…

Raves and Reviews
"A high-flying novel of love and peril-sheer page-turning entertainment that hooked me with its wit from the first sentence."
– Helen Marshall
"An effervescent blend of revisionist history, fantasy and science fiction."
– The Washington Post
"As well as being a profound mediation on history and the need to defend democracy, Paris Adrift is also a gorgeous evocation of youth and growing up... a celebration of that particular moment in our lives, when we feel those connections all the more strongly because we know on some level they will come to an end." -- Fantasy Faction
– Fantasy Faction
"Paris Adrift is a different type of time travel book, one I hope to see more of, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys Paris, the fear for the future, and traveling into the unknown. Be sure to check out the other stops on the tour!" -- Utopia State of Mind
– Utopia State of Mind
"Swift (the Osiris Project series) delivers both an unusual take on time travel and solid characters, including a fantastic protagonist."
– Publisher's Weekly
"Paris Adrift is a really cool book. It's Skins meet time travel." -- British Fantasy Society
– British Fantasy Society
"Swift's prose is well crafted, and her characters breathe a sort of gap-year-encounters-larger-than-reality hallucinogenic life: vivid, foreign, and faintly exotic to middle-class English girl Hallie."
– Liz Bourke, Locus
"A glittering novel of time travel that you'll want to devour like a mille-feuille in one single bite. I loved it."
– Lavie Tidhar
"A very enjoyable read." -- Fortean Times
– Fortean Times
