The Epic Saga of an Alien Trapped in Medieval Times
Wonderful! Intriguingly worked out characters. I'm eager for Scorpio's next adventure.-Bruce Coville
1351. Medieval France. An Alien Makes First Contact...
Genocide on his home planet drove Scorpio to take a blind leap into the time vortex-only to land on earth in the year 1351, in a Medieval city full of violence and intrigue. He found a friend in the young and beautiful Leah de Bernay, who is herself pursued by enemies: her father has been wrongly accused of murder and thrown into prison. As Scorpio and Leah race to prove her father's innocence, they are chased by the mysterious and vicious Hunters-the deadly assassins who drove Scorpio from his home planet. They know that he travelled through time with the help of a glowing orb of power, and they mean to have it.
Pursued at every step by the Hunters, Scorpio and Leah jump through time to Elizabethan London, to seek help from Queen Elizabeth's astrologer. But time is running out for them to decipher the secret of the orb, if they are to save themselves from the Hunters, and Scorpio's home planet from destruction!
The first in a richly textured series.
