1429: A city under siege. A future in the balance.
When another glitch in time threatens the fabric of history, eighteen-year-old Dan Renfrew and his partner Sam Cahill jump into the past again. They land in medieval France, just before Joan of Arc's miraculous lifting of the Siege of Orléans. But this is a world dominated by religious intolerance and fear, where one wrong step could lead to torture or death at the hands of Catholic priests. And when accusations begin to surface, Dan and Sam find themselves in an impossible race against time. To survive—and keep history intact—they must outwit fanatics, dodge soldiers, and endure the chaos of 1429. One wrong move could cost them their lives . . . and rewrite the future forever.

“The pacing keeps the story moving, with moments of action balanced by scenes that allow the characters and their motivations to develop. I appreciated the attention to detail and the way the historical elements were woven into the narrative without overwhelming the personal aspects of the story. The audiobook narration added to the experience, bringing energy and emotion to the characters while capturing the intensity of the action. The narrator’s delivery helped create a sense of urgency during the more dramatic moments and made the story easy to become immersed in.”—Jeni Lannen, Sweet Grass County High School Librarian, Big Timber, Montana
