With their inexperience and the dangerous nuances of the past, they must navigate a world that is far more perilous than anticipated. As their 37-hour time limit looms, they grapple with the dire consequences of their expedition and the delicate balance between historical fact and fiction. Will they succeed in their mission, or will they be trapped in history forever?

Plot summary Fact one: time travel exists. Fact two: it’s dangerous. Just yesterday, Kate, Chris and Andréwere three normal historians. Today, they’re three, equal-in-inexperience, normal time travellers. After being sent back to 1357 to rescue a lost time traveller and colleague, the troublesome trio find out that this time, they’ve bitten off far more than they can chew. And as if it couldn’t get worse: if they don’t get back in 37 hours, they’ll never get back.
