About this listen

The third book in the best-selling Chronicles of St Mary's series which follows a group of tea-soaked disaster magnets as they hurtle their way around History. If you love Jasper Fforde or Ben Aaronovitch, you won't be able to resist Jodi Taylor.

History happens all around you. And, occasionally, to you.

I could have been a bomb-disposal expert, or a volunteer for the Mars mission, or a firefighter, something safe and sensible. But, no, I had to be an historian.

It began well. A successful assignment to 17th century Cambridge to meet Isaac Newton, and another to witness the historic events at The Gates of Grief. So far so good.

But then came the long-awaited jump to the Trojan War that changed everything. And for Max, nothing will ever be the same again.

With the bloody Battle of Agincourt playing out around her, Max risks everything on one last desperate gamble to save a life and learns the true meaning of a second chance.

What the critics say

"Ramm deftly takes listeners through Taylor's temporal shifts, emphasizing Max's dry wit and sense of the ridiculous.... Ramm's smooth voice pivots to a tone of regret and loss as Max confronts the consequences of dabbling in time. Ramm portrays Max's complex nature in all its flawed humanity." ( AudioFile)

The narrator adds so much to the story. You can just visualize what is going on. Such fun and fascinating stories. Actually learn some history many times.

I love this series and the characters with the exception of Leon. To me his is a controlling douchebag

Delightful, fun, romantic, witty. Every bit as fun as the first two books. Loved it from start to finish. #audibleone

Lovely!

Unexpectedly emotional toward the end there. And Markham has officially become my favorite secondary character. A great read as usual from this team!

I laughed, I cried

This is a great book and quite a cliffhanger to boot. Talk about thinking it’s all over with no way out and author Jodi Taylor not only pulls Max’s chestnuts out of the fire, she makes the unbelievable believable.
