What if falling into history meant you could never leave?
When a ruined chapel on the Cornish coast triggers an impossible event, Tudor historian Katherine Morrison is pulled out of her own time-and wakes as Katherine Westmoor in 1536 England, trapped in a household where men control her every move.
Here, men own women. Knowledge is treated as heresy. And Katherine's modern medical understanding could burn her as a witch.
As royal commissioners sweep the countryside during the Dissolution of the Monasteries, hunting for forbidden manuscripts and signs of dissent, Katherine learns to survive by performing obedience. Her guardian arranges her marriage. Surveillance tightens. Every misstep brings her closer to confinement-or erasure.
Escape is not enough.
Secretly, Katherine begins keeping a forbidden counter-ledger: a record of destroyed books, corrupted audits, and the quiet violence used to discipline women into silence. Proof that could outlast her-if she lives long enough to finish it.
With Twelfth Night approaching and her fate about to be sealed, Katherine must decide whether to risk everything to preserve what power is trying to destroy. Because in Tudor England, power writes history-and truth survives only when carried forward.
A meticulously researched time-slip historical thriller of hidden manuscripts, false charges, and one woman's race to leave proof behind before she is erased.
For readers who love Diana Gabaldon and Kate Morton, with the historical rigor of Hilary Mantel.
