Beskrivning
1429: A city under siege. A future in the balance.Eighteen-year-old Dan Renfrew and his partner, Sam Cahill, are no strangers to the dangers of time travel. But when another glitch threatens to unravel history, their latest mission sends them into one of the most turbulent chapters of medieval France: the Siege of Orléans in 1429, just before Joan of Arc's legendary victory.In a world gripped by religious intolerance, superstition, and fear, even the smallest mistake can have deadly consequences. With soldiers patrolling the streets and accusations of heresy threatening anyone who attracts suspicion, Dan and Sam must navigate a city on the brink of catastrophe. Capture could mean imprisonment, torture, or execution—and their enemies are determined to make sure history unfolds differently.As the siege intensifies and danger closes in, the young time jumpers must outwit religious fanatics, evade hostile soldiers, and uncover the threat to the historical timeline before it's too late. Every choice carries the risk of changing events that have already shaped the world they know.To survive, Dan and Sam will need every ounce of courage and ingenuity they possess. Because in medieval Orléans, one wrong move could cost them their lives—and rewrite the future forever.Discover the first four books in the Jump in Time series:The Last Saxon King (March 2023)2024 Red Maple Honour Book, Forest of Reading Festival2024 Gold Winner, Teen Fiction, IBPA Book AwardsThe Celtic Deception (August 2023)2024 Editors' Choice, Historical Novel SocietyThe Mongol Ascension (September 2024)2025 Winner, Young Adult Fiction, IBPA Book AwardsThe Spartan Sacrifice (August 2025)2025 Editors' Choice, Historical Novel Society
