The Brook Randall School for Girls of Military Parentage is a boarding school of good reputation. For Melanie Mackenzie, Joan Vere d’Urquart and Laura MaCallaman, just three of the teenage girls who call this girls’ school home, it is a tranquil and ordered environment that allows them to overcome the tragedies of their pasts.But when a man claiming to be the famous playwright Christopher Marlowe arrives at the school to give a lecture on historical time travel, bringing with him an air of mystery and suspense, action and adventure, the delicate equilibrium of Randall’s is shattered. Melanie, it turns out, is a Time Walker, someone who can break the barriers of time and send people back into the past on a time travel mystery over which she has no real control.She is just what Marlowe has been looking for – someone who can return him to his own time and allow him to escape finally from the religious fanatics who have hunted him through history since the Elizabethan era. But as events surrounding the girls’ school deepen the mystery and suspense of Melanie’s new ability, both Christopher Marlowe and the teenage girls find themselves embroiled in an historical time travel mystery that spans from Randall’s girls’ school to the 1600s to the closing days of the Napoleonic Wars. Who is the young Ensign tasked with defending a river crossing against an entire army – and, more importantly, who are the mysterious men in pink asking questions about a long-dead playwright?Heartfelt and original, this is one action and adventure story you will not want to miss in the Look Inside Feature.
