Stranded (The Shorten Chronicles)

A modern girl. A door to the past. No way back.
Sophie Arundel is stranded in history, stuck in a grand house in 1925 England. Thankfully, she has her faithful dog Charlotte with her. Oh, and fellow student Hugo, annoying and charming in equal measure.

Baffled by upper-class rules, courted by boring suitors, Sophie is desperate to get back to the twenty-first century. But the only way home is through a hidden portal — and she must work with Hugo to unlock its secrets.

As one clue leads to another, Sophie and Hugo discover that history is unfolding differently. Mobs rule the streets. And when chaos turns into a deadly revolution, anyone in a grand house is fair game.

Sophie and Hugo are running out of time...

Rosalind Tate's fantasy books have slow-burn, fade to black romantic sub-plots, strong heroines, and wonderful canine sidekicks.

Rosalind lives in Gloucestershire, England, and holidays on the Cornish coast. She served in the British military, then worked as a journalist and a lawyer. She has grown up children, a tolerant husband and two utterly gorgeous dogs.

When she's not daydreaming, walking the dogs, or watching her favourite sci-fi and fantasy shows, she's thinking up new stories and writing her next novel. She's always loved books and grew up reading the likes of Tolkien and Rosemary Sutcliff. Her current go-to authors are Deborah Harkness and Angela Boord.
Here's what one reader says about Rosalind's stories. "All of her books are simply amazing! I love each and every one of them.
