She knew how history ended. She never expected to become part of it.

In 2026, Eleanor “Nora” Bennett enters a Tudor estate during a violent storm and touches the portrait of a woman who looks impossibly familiar.

When she wakes, the modern world is gone.

The year is 1535.

Stranded in the England of Henry VIII with nothing but the knowledge in her head, Nora quickly discovers that surviving the Tudor world is far more dangerous than reading about it. Her clothes invite suspicion. Her independence is scandalous. Her understanding of medicine, sanitation, science, and the stars borders on heresy. And when she begins teaching women and girls to question the limits placed upon them, whispers of witchcraft are not far behind.

Then Nora is summoned to court.

Suddenly, the people she once knew only from history books are standing before her. Henry VIII is watching her. Thomas Cromwell is questioning her. Anne Boleyn is still alive.

And Nora knows what happens next.

Every life she saves, every secret she reveals, and every woman she teaches threatens to alter the future she came from. But remaining silent means watching tragedies unfold when she may have the power to stop them.

As history begins to change around her, Nora faces an impossible question:

If you know the future, do you have the right to change the past?

And if you do...

will there still be a future waiting for you when you return?
