The Cloak
Beware of doorways through time… and dark alleys
Amelia Murray thought she was just picking up an overpriced cloak. Instead, she finds herself chased into Lady Stair’s Close, through a mysterious door—and straight into 17th century Scotland.
Convinced she’s stumbled into an elaborate renaissance fair (with suspiciously authentic smells and way too many knives), Amelia sets off to find Edinburgh Castle, avoid being burned as a witch, and hopefully track down a meat pie. Along the way, she thwarts a kidnapping, insults a few nobles, and accidentally gets herself thrown in jail.
She doesn’t yet realize she’s three hundred years in the past… or that getting home will be far trickier than haggling with a street vendor.
The Time Writer and The Cloak is a historical time travel adventure that kicks off Amelia’s snark-filled journeys through history. Perfect for fans of sharp-tongued heroines, dark alleys hiding unexpected portals, and the inconvenient truth that sometimes, the past isn’t quite ready for a 21st century woman.
