Winner of both the 1993 Hugo and Nebula Best Novel awards, this is a science fiction classic. In a time of superstition and fear, Kivrin finds she has become an unlikely angel of hope during one of history's darkest hours. But a crisis strangely linking past and future strands Kivrin in a bygone age as her fellows try desperately to rescue her. For her instructors in the twenty-first century, it meant painstaking calculations and careful monitoring of the rendezvous location where Kivrin would be received. "A tour de force" - New York Times Book Review "Ambitious, finely detailed and compulsively readable" - Locus "It is a book that feels fundamentally true it is a book to live in" - Washington Post For Kivrin Engle, preparing an on-site study of one of the deadliest eras in humanity's history was as simple as receiving inoculations against the diseases of the fourteenth century and inventing a bullet-proof backstory.
