The Book
In 1883, Charles is a poor farmer desperate to secure financial stability for his mother and sister, as he is unsure which of his time-crossing paths he will choose on his twenty-fifth birthday. Posing as the Earl of Norfolk, he enters the opulent circles of Newport's elite to assist a fellow time-crossing friend, Drew. But suspicions of his identity arise among the upper crust, and his encounters with Drew's intriguing sister further complicate decisions that could impact a lifetime.
In 1563, Lady Cecily serves Queen Elizabeth while clinging to the hope that her stepbrother Charles will remain with her in this path. As the true Earl of Norfolk, Charles is deeply entangled in the deadly politics of the court. When he brings Drew, a physician in training, to Windsor Castle to help save the ailing monarch, old feelings for Drew rekindle in Cecily's heart, but her love faces impossible odds under the strict rules of the crown. As their futures hang by a thread, Charles and Cecily race to prevent their web of secrets from unraveling and ensnaring them in an inescapable destiny.

Oh, how I love this series. Gabrielle Meyer never ceases to amaze me in how she keeps each of these books unique and exciting. I'll be honest, of all the books in the series, this is probably the one that covers time periods that I don't tend to enjoy as much... and as such am least familiar with... and yet, once again, I found myself absolutely drawn into the story just the same. This time we not only have dual POV, but we also get to know a few other time-crossers as well, making this one all the more exciting and keeping me wondering how everything was going to work out. I loved getting to know these characters and their stories, but I also loved seeing all the connections to characters that we have met in the past and learning new things about their stories too. As the sixth book in the series, could this be read as a standalone? Maybe, but I do believe you're going to get the most out of it by reading in order... there might be some minor spoilers for the other time-crossers, but I also feel like we've been learning more about this unique gift throughout the series and it seems like jumping in here (especially with all the characters introduced in this one) would be a little more confusing! Truly though, this is a series that I cannot recommend highly enough, and a fantastic addition to it!You can purchase your copy here: https://amzn.to/3IQFbXe
