Inarora's Excursion by Astrid Abell

Inarora Beservera is the daughter of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, but she’s never been concerned about his political career before. After all, politicians’ families were only targeted in Naa’ran, right? She’s in for a rude awakening when she’s sent almost 50 years into the past and finds herself living with her great-grandpas. During Inarora’s stay in the past, she finds herself walking down a path of self-discovery. Of all the things to happen, she never expected she’d develop unknown powers! Kaedan Beservera never expected his daughter to get kidnapped in a relatively safe country like End’oria. Yet he has to rely on the Intelligence Ward, the same organization that refused to investigate his grandfather’s murder, to find her. Between two useless bureaucratic institutions, Kaedan is forced to take matters into his own hands before he loses Inarora forever. But what can he do if he doesn’t know who took her?
