Description
Dr. Gwyneth Franger
is a renowned expert in early medieval England who is set upon learning the
truth about the death of Lord Erik, the last descendant of the powerful House
of Wareham. Her quest becomes an obsession, a condition that began with the
discovery of a portrait of the tall and valiant warrior with which she forms an
extraordinary and inexplicable bond.
Digesting troves of
mildewed scrolls and source documentation only enhances her belief that Lord
Erik was brutally assassinated by a cabal of traitors in the pay of William the
Bastard, shortly before the onslaught of the Norman Invasion.
On an archeological
dig in Southern England, her team unearths an Anglo-Saxon fortress, a vast
citadel built during the reign of Alfred the Great, which she believes was Lord
Erik’s stronghold. In the midst of her excitement, she is awakened one night
from her slumbers by a disconcerting anomaly emerging from the site.
Dr. Franger finds
herself transported back to the Dark Ages and at the side of the noble Lord
Erik who commands an army of elite Saxon warriors, a swift and mobile force
able to deploy quickly throughout the kingdom to ward off invaders.
Witnessing the
unrest firsthand, Gwyneth senses that her instincts had been right all along,
and she is determined to learn the identities of the treacherous blackguards
hiding in the shadows, villains who may well be posing as Lord Erik’s friends
and counselors.
Will Gwyneth stop
the assassins? Is she strong enough to walk away and watch her beloved Erik
die? Or will she intervene, change the course of history and wipe out an entire
timeline to save the man she loves with all her heart?
