A Crown in Time
In the far future, a convicted criminal is given a chance at redemption.
Her mission? To save the crown of France by convincing a young noble not to join the ill-fated Eighth Crusade.
But nothing goes as planned, and Isobel finds herself accompanying a hot-headed youth on his way to fight the infidel in Tunis: a battle Isobel knows is fated to be lost.
From the rainy villages of medieval France, to the scorching desert of Tunis - Isobel faces her destiny and tries to fulfil her duty, knowing she can never return to her time, knowing that a wrong move can doom the future, or doom her to be burned as a witch.
THOUGHTS/REVIEW:
What an exciting read that started from the first page!
In this world, the year 2900, time travel has been perfected through quartz crystal technology an elite institution, Tempus University. Though time travel is reserved for the few time travelling journalists, certain errors committed in the past could be undone by the Correctors. Isobel is serving a life sentence for killing a child in a car accident and is serving in a reproduction prison. For the past four years, she has been donating her ovules monthly. An opportunity to gain freedom, Isobel was given a choice to time travel and correct a mistake that happened in the past. She joins the corrector program and has been training for the past year. A success means her name would be remembered as one of the heroes, while a unsuccessful mission means being erased as if she has never existed at all.
I absolutely loved the premise and the pacing of this book. It was fast, the story developed quickly and the writing was exciting and really kept my attention to this creative story line. She was able to explain how this time travel worked and the story began right away. I love Historical Fiction reads and to go back in time from 2900 AD to the French Countryside in the Middle Ages was a fun ride that Macaire definitely took me on. What an enjoyable read that is full of amazing characters. I highly recommend this amazing book.
