Summary: (from goodreads) When Gabi and Lia finally learn to surf the river of time, they realize they must make hard choices about life and love in the third and final book in the River of Time series. 

 
Gabi and Lia Betarrini have learned to control their time travel, and they return from medieval Italy to save their father from his tragic death in modern times. But love calls across the centuries, and the girls are determined to return forever—even though they know the Black Plague is advancing across Europe, claiming the lives of one-third of the population. In the suspenseful conclusion of the River of Time series, every decision is about life … and death.

Torrent is exactly what its title describes it is. Torrent is drenched in action and romance. You are on the edge of your seat while reading this novel the whole time from page 1 to the last page. What a power house of a book actually I should say series. When a series that is out of my normal reading genre wins me over like The River of Time series did, you know its has to be excellent. I adore what Lisa has created in these pages, I don't want the story to end ever. So my only wish is that the publisher and Lisa keep it going. 

Gabi and Lia have done the impossible. They were able to travel back into modern day time and save their father. They are now a complete family once again just in 14th century Italy. They believe that if they travel back they might loose their father again. They all return and a year's time has passed. They see that things are bad, the castle is not in Marcello's possession and his brother is still captured by the enemy. Follow the "She-Wolves" as they figure out how to take back the castle and save the brother. Will Gabi survive the twists and turns they have coming their way. Will they lose their father no matter what century they are in? How will changing events in history affect everything? 

If your looking for a series that has excellent characters, detailed history and non-stop action, then READ this series. I can't stress enough how much you will fall in love with this series. One of the best things about these books, is the amount of detail Lisa writes about historical events and scenery. This is how history should have been taught in school. I recommend to any one that love a great book to read, young or old.
