  Introduction
  
  
  On a muggy August day in 2002, Alexandra Lind was unexpectedly thrown
  backwards in time, landing in the year of Our Lord 1658. Catapulted into an
  unfamiliar and frightening new existence, Alex could do nothing but adapt.
  After all, while time travelling itself is a most rare occurrence, time
  travelling with a return ticket is even rarer.
  
  
  This is the fifth book about Alex, her husband Matthew and their continued
  adventures in the second half of the seventeenth century.
