Synopsis

• "This book felt like a love letter to the human thirst for knowledge – to curiosity, to creativity, and to the desire to innovate." – Elementary My Dear Book Blog
• "I did not know historical sci-fi could be a genre, but here it is!"
• "A refreshingly different approach to time travel."
• "A suspenseful and thought-provoking work of speculative fiction."

Planet Earth is broken.

Civilisation was plunged back into the Dark Ages when the Sun spewed forth the largest solar flare in recorded history. But amidst the ashes, a lone physicist made humanity's greatest scientific breakthrough – time travel.

A decade later, the fledgling technology is ready to send a pair of daring pioneers on a one-way journey into the past. When the portal shuts there will be no communication. And no coming back.

Even then Matilda and Harry were enthusiastic volunteers, eager to impart their futuristic knowledge so a future civilisation might mitigate the inevitable celestial cataclysm.

But when the inaugural mission goes awry in its opening heartbeats, Matilda finds herself trapped and alone in 12th Century England.

She is Chronomad One. Humanity's first time traveller.


IN A WORLD SO OFTEN OVERSHADOWED BY DOOM AND GLOOM, IMMERSE YOURSELF IN AN EASY READ THAT CELEBRATES HUMANITY'S BRIGHTEST QUALITIES AND INSPIRES THE RELENTLESS PURSUIT OF INGENUITY
