A cross between Outlander and The Time Machine. Imagine finding the love of your life only to lose him 1000 years ago…

Nordic professor Erik Jonsson lived a life of dull routine: predictable, consistent, and alone. That was until Tone Thorgilsdottir showed up in class. Awakening long dormant passions, Tone captures Erik’s heart, unleashing a craving and desire he’d never felt before. A winning Time Travel lottery ticket adds to the excitement and the two lovers decide to head back to the time of King Alfred the Great and find a priest to officiate their marriage.

Unfortunately, a glitch in the Time Machine sends them back a hundred years earlier… to Lindisfarne… just as Vikings attack the monastery. In the ensuing confusion and battle, Eric is left behind.

Now Tone must find a way to go back in time to rescue him… that is, if he’s still alive.
