This is the second book in the Peter Farrier series. Peter and Isadora are having the worst possible start to their summer break. It's bad enough Isadora's parents have split up, so she really didn't need her horse to disappear in some random explosion. And Simon Jenkins is back harassing Peter - only, this time, he's possessed by demons. And Charlie Sadler's acting like he knows things he shouldn't. Not that things are any better a thousand years earlier. Earl Harold Godwinson is shipwrecked, his Saxon war-party captured, and ransomed to Duke William of Normandy. And he's just been ambushed by voracious Hindmen, losing a chunk of leg in the fight. And Edward the Confessor, king of England, has to chose a successor from these two - although the Vikings are threatening their own claim. And Merlin's still struggling to dampen down the ripples caused by Peter's last time in Camelot. So it would be madness to pull them back again - especially if, this time, he wasn't alone. And, of all years, you'd certainly not chose the spring of 1066. Unless, that is, you wanted to re-write the fate of humankind. This is the first of two books chronicling the tumultuous events of 1066, as Saxon, Norman, Viking and Camelotian vie for control of the English throne, with Merlin still trying to shape events, and a handful of twenty-first century teenagers thrown into the mix by unknown forces and for reasons yet to be understood.
