She thought it was real. She was wrong.
When Sophia wakes up in 15th-century England, she expects hardship—but
nothing prepares her for this brutal, unforgiving world. Lost, alone, and
desperate to return to her husband and son, she vows to find a way home. But as
weeks pass, Sophia finds kinship and purpose in this strange land.
After a violent attack, she takes fate into her own hands, disguising
herself as a man to train under Henry, the castle’s enigmatic master-at-arms.
As steel clashes and their connection deepens, forbidden desire ignites.
Yet Henry is not the knight he claims to be. His real name is Ethan, and
this is the least of the lies he tells her. Falling for Sophia was never part
of the plan—but the closer they become, the more he realises how wrong it is to
keep her in the dark.
As danger closes in and the lines between reality and deception blur,
Sophia must uncover the truth about Henry—and herself—before she runs out of
time.
Outlander meets Black Mirror in this sizzling dark time travel romance.
*Warning: strong language, steamy scenes, and graphic violence inside.
Mention/Description of, but not limited to, abduction, blood, death,
amputation, childbirth, death, sexual assault, suicide, violence against
children, rape, and torture.*
The book is the first in a duology and ends with a cliffhanger.
Excerpt:
Sophia and Henry meet
for the first time
Then, with a sudden crash, I was
yanked back into reality. My eyes blinked open to find myself lying on beaten
earth, small stones scattered around me like the remnants of some forgotten
battle. I attempted to reach for them, but my fingers refused to obey my
command. Were those dark pellets in the corner rat droppings? The thought made
me want to retch, but I had no air to spare.
Before me appeared the bluest eyes I
had ever seen. They fixed intently on my face, twin beacons of azure that
seemed to anchor me against the encroaching tide of despair. I stared into
them, unable to pull my gaze away from their hypnotic depths. They were like
the water in the Mediterranean—inviting, warm, and mysterious all at once. Just
as I longed to dive into those azure waves and sink into them on a hot summer
day, I wanted to immerse myself in the comforting embrace of those mesmerising
eyes.
Strong hands grasped my shoulders,
shaking me back into reality with a jolt. I tore my gaze from those captivating
eyes and looked downward, my vision fixing on sensually shaped lips surrounded
by a dark beard. The man’s mouth moved vigorously, but I couldn’t make out the
words he was saying. My ears were filled with a persistent ringing, drowning
out the world around me.
“…breathe,” I finally heard
him say, his voice taking on an urgent tone. “Can you hear me? You must
draw breath!” He shook me again, his grip firm yet gentle, grounding me in
the present moment. “Breathe! Quickly now, do not falter!”
About Eliza Hampstead:
Award-winning
author Eliza Hampstead is a scientist by training but a storyteller at heart.
When she’s not lost in writing (or researching obscure medieval facts she
swears are relevant to the plot), she’s fully embracing her geeky side—whether
that’s strategising over a board game, getting emotionally invested in an RPG,
or conquering virtual worlds.
A lifelong
fantasy lover, she’s always dreaming up her next adventure—both on the page and
in real life. If time travel were possible, she’d already be in medieval
England, probably getting into trouble with a sword. Until then, she’ll settle
for writing stories filled with forbidden love, surprising twists, and just the
right amount of spice.
