With her superior fighting skill she easily overwhelms the warrior, winning the admiration of the Prince, and changing the course of British history forever.The second book in this brilliant new series from bestselling author of THE ANCIENT FUTURE, Traci Harding. Rising to her own defence, Tory challenges the Prince’s champion to unarmed combat. Believing she is the witch of the stones, they threaten to kill her. Prince Maelgwyn of Gwynedd and his band of knights stumble across this mysterious woman dressed in jeans and a leather jacket. The Merlin knows of the legend Tory is to become, and through the wisdom of the Old Ones, teleports her back to the Dark Age. But across the vortex of time and space, she is being watched. She resolves to spend the night at the sacred site a black belt in Tae-kwon-do, Tory holds little fear for her safety. Late one evening, a car accident leaves Tory – daughter of a prominent history professor – stranded near a ring of stones in the English countryside. It’s a fun ride, and while I wouldn’t count it up there with the greats, it’s well worth the read. We learn that not everyone is who or what they seem, and time doesn’t move linearly. As we make this journey, we are introduced to the idea of reincarnation and soul-pairs, cool technology and aliens. We travel with Tory between the present, the Dark Age, Atlantis, and eventually to the semi-near future.

Together with Merlin, they work to change the course of history, while also working to defeat the evil of a witch that had been imprisoned, but is now at large. It doesn’t take long for her to not only be a welcome member of the court that picks her up, but to start making significant changes, such as womens rights and sharing her knowledge of the martial arts. But Tory smart, well-schooled in ancient Britain, and is a black-belt in Tae-kwon-do. Suddenly appearing out of nowhere and wearing strange clothes, she is naturally mistaken for a witch. She gets transported through a circle of standing stones, back to the Dark Age. The trilogy starts with our main character, Tory, travelling in Britain after the death of her twin brother.
