When Time Found Her - Paperback

by Sigrid Brockenhuus (Author)

When Time Found Her is a visceral, historical time-slip novel that explores the brutal consequences of a fractured timeline during the bloody 14th-century War of the Breton Succession. The narrative centers on a devastating rupture in history: during the chaotic 1342 Siege of Hennebont, Joanna of Flanders loses her eight-year-old daughter, when the walls crumble. Time itself mistakenly thrust Joanna's daughter foreward to the 20th century where she spends the next forty-two years living in a century that is not her own. This profound, unnatural tragedy breaks the intended course of reality, resulting in Charles of Blois seizing the keep and plunging Brittany into an alternate, darker path. But time cannot abide this grave imbalance. In 1384, the timeline attempts a violent, bloody correction. Joanna's daughter is drawn back from the sterile comfort of the modern life of 2026 and thrust back into the mud, ash, and steel of her stolen past. Bearing a bog oak amulet she created from her dreams and the heavy, suffocating memories of a displaced existence, she is tasked with a monumental burden: reclaiming her birthright. The story weaves the sensory nightmare of medieval warfare with a cosmic mandate, following a woman who must fight through a meat-grinder of dynastic conflict to force history back onto its rightful, albeit scarred, axis. It is an exploration of what it takes to mend a broken reality when every step toward equilibrium must be bought with blood and iron.
