eBook Description:  Imagine someone sent to another place and time to do a task, a task that he finds loathsome but which he feels he has no choice but to perform. Imagine that person remaining there for so long that his old world seems less real to him than this new one. Imagine that the time comes to perform the task.... In her introduction to this story, Victoria said that what attracted her to the tale was the sense of atmosphere that surrounded it. Is this fantasy, alternate history, or science fiction? It all depends on who in the story you believe...

PRELUDEDust settled on the coifs and cloaks of the men-at-arms behind them; ahead, the walls of Troyes glowered above the fields bordering the road. The Baron de Nogent settled himself on the saddle of his mount, grimacing. He turned to his constable, riding beside him, and shook his head. "My old rump can't stand much more of this pounding, Benoit. My squire's been sparing of the blankets again. I'll be glad to reach the hostel. Renard has promised the most comely of his maids to keep my bones warm. Now that's a comfort not to be missed, eh?" The Baron winked at the man, grinning. "It's better than we'll find among the Saracens. Louis will travel in comfort, but nothing better than we might find in Champagne. But Troyes..." Benoit shook his head beneath his hood of mail.
