When they went to school that day, the ten children had no idea
that their lives were about to be drastically changed, or that they
would be transported into the Middle Ages and end up in the midst
of a battle that would change world history. Constantinople, under
siege by the Turks, was about to fall. Cannons would fire, ships
would burn, screams of charging Turks would fill their ears. Follow
the students as they encounter the famous Italian soldier
Guistiniani, and as they fight by his side. Meet courageous Emperor
Constantine XI, who, though hugely outnumbered, fought the Turks to
the death to protect his city. Could the children help save the
city which the Roman emperor, Constantine I, had named for himself,
and which so long had stood as a bastion of Christianity? What was
the purpose of their sudden arrival there? Would their faith stand
the test? Would they ever get home? Patricia (Pat) Guthrie, a
former teacher who has taught in public, private, and home school
situations, has always loved writing. Over the years, she has
written poems, short stories, book length stories, research papers,
and newspaper articles. Serving as an educational missionary in
Brazil with her husband, Weston, Pat has had rich and varied
experiences in her lifetime, for which she is grateful to God.
Loving and serving young people during her husband's ministry as a
Presbyterian pastor was a great joy to her, providing lasting
friendships. In 2002, Pat helped found the classical Christian
school Covenant Christian Academy in Max Meadows, Virginia, where
she taught a variety of courses over a seven year period. She has
three grown children and four grandsons and now lives with her
husband in her hometown of Pulaski, Virginia.
