Simon Grant has an unlikely friend in Professor Moira Ananke, whom
he met while visiting the museum where she works. One day, while
looking through dusty bookshelves he comes upon a series of black,
leather journals. He quickly becomes engrossed in reading her
accounts of archaeological excavations: digging at Ramses' tomb in
Egypt's Valley of the Kings in 1995, excavating ancient Indian
cities at Harappa in 1986. His attention is drawn to a dozen more
journals stretching along the bookcase: Field Notes from the
Discovery of Tutankhamen's Tomb, 1922, Finding Troy, 1871, Work
with Johannes Burkhardt, 1812. Simon glances toward his mentor who
silently watches him take down several books and scan their pages.
They are what they appear to be--her personal notes from
excavations stretching back nearly 200 years. So begins Simon's
introduction to time travel. Professor Ananke is a Master Time
Traveler. She agrees to accept Simon as her apprentice, to teach
him the secrets of time travel. After a few brief practice trips,
Simon feels he is beginning to learn the tricks of this dangerous
business. But one day, while photographing a mysterious medieval
manuscript, he is grabbed and thrown through time under no control
of his own. Simon lands, shaken and confused, in a medieval wood in
Yorkshire, England. He is discovered by a young lady, Bryn
Berengar, who involves him in a dangerous and suspenseful mystery
tied to the murder of Thomas Becket. Their search for the
manuscript that provides clues to the mystery exposes them to many
dangers, including being poisoned by monk's hood, locked in a tower
room with a corpse, and fighting a desperate knight with a secret
to hide. They travel to Carlisle Castle to thwart a plot to
overthrow King Henry II and Simon finds the fencing lessons he took
at the local youth bureau take on great importance as he fights for
his life. Perhaps most dangerous however, is the relationship he is
developing with Bryn.
