In A Tryst in Time by Casi McLean, the two main characters take the reader by the hand as they wander through the island of Montserrat, chased by Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard. They have minor arguments, as Sutton being from the 21st century is not used to being excluded from pubs or hostelries, as well as having her opinion ignored.

The third-person point of view changes with the chapters. So, the reader has access to Sutton (the main character), as well as Beckett's and Blackbeard’s perspectives. This choice of narration allows tension and intrigue to build. The point of view allows all three characters to be well-developed.
