She studies history. Now she’s trapped inside it.

When museum curator Harper Ainsley touches an ancient psalter glowing in a London archive, she’s thrown into England, 1215, days before the signing of the Magna Carta. No phone. No way home. And no idea who to trust.
The de Warenne family believes she could be a spy, a witch… or something even more dangerous. Only Sir Geoffrey de Warenne, the brilliant but guarded strategist tasked with uncovering her secrets, sees beyond the impossible story.
Harper knows what’s coming. Civil war. Betrayal. Bloodshed. She knows kings will fall and kingdoms will burn because she’s spent her entire life studying the past. But surviving history is very different from reading about it. And Geoffrey is becoming far more than a man assigned to watch her.
As danger closes in around Thames Castle, Harper and Geoffrey are drawn together by stolen moments, forbidden trust, and a connection neither of them can explain. But the same mysterious manuscript that brought Harper to the past may also be the only thing that can send her home. Now Harper faces an impossible choice. Return to the future she lost… or risk everything for a love that was never supposed to exist.
