Synopsis

Daniel ha una passione bruciante per un videogioco online, Hyperversum, che trasporta la sua fantasia nella storia. Dentro la realtà virtuale ha imparato a essere un perfetto uomo del Medioevo e conosce tutte le astuzie per superare ogni livello di gioco.
Ian ha una laurea e un dottorato in storia medievale. Dalla morte dei suoi genitori è diventato parte della famiglia di Daniel. Al rientro da un soggiorno di studi in Francia, Ian raggiunge la sua “famiglia acquisita” per una cena e, naturalmente, per tornare a giocare col suo amico Daniel al loro videogame preferito.
Davanti allo schermo non sono soli: ci sono il piccolo Martin, Jodie, la ragazza di Daniel, e, collegati da un altro computer, Carl e Donna.
Mentre vivono la loro avventura virtuale nel Medioevo, vengono sorpresi da una tempesta che li tramortisce: Daniel, Jodie, Ian e Martin si ritrovano in Fiandra, nel bel mezzo della guerra che vede contrapposte Francia e Inghilterra.
Si aprono per loro una nuova vita, nuove strade, un nuovo amore…

A Woman Lost in Time...
Luveday is a researcher and spends most of her time behind a desk or a book. When she is transported to Anora, another world that resembles medieval England, she is at a loss, but she's smart enough to know that a woman on her own has little chances of survival and fewer rights. She finds herself rescued by a knight on his way home to Lander's Keep, and works to make herself indispensable to the castle and it's absent Lord, hoping that she won't be thrown out into the cold before she can find a way home.

The King's Champion...
Lord Iain De Lane returns home to find his ancestral castle, long neglected, has been transformed and a mysterious lady is responsible. His elderly Aunt, Lady Emmalyn and young Ellie, sing her praises, in fact the whole castle and village have nothing but good to say about her, but the last thing Iain needs is another woman in his life. Especially since, his fiancé, Lady Christabel, has taken up residence unexpectedly, and despite the improvements, they are both finding out that a court favorite is not the proper wife for a northern lord. Still, Iain is locked into a betrothal sanctioned by the King, and he needs the coin to keep his people fed. No matter how appealing Lady Luveday may seem in comparison, he could never choose the penniless noblewoman.

As Luveday grows to be more to Iain and his people, it becomes clear that the Lord of the Keep has made a serious mistake in choosing a bride. When the wedding draws near, and the lines between Lord and Lady blur, will Iain follow his heart and marry her or will Luveday need to make a hard choice of her own, and leave the place she loves or risk becoming more than a lost lady, but a fallen one?

First Lessons

Lina J. Potter

Aliya is a medical school graduate gifted with both smarts and an athletic body. Her life seems perfect…until she finds herself in a fatal car accident. Instead of dying, however, she wakes up in a completely different body in the middle of a half-ruined castle during alternate medieval times. Confused and dismayed, Aliya realizes she was given a second chance in life — so she rolls up her sleeves and gets to work on restoring the castle and her new life.

Aliya’s situation is confusing and challenging. Reborn as Countess Lilian Earton, she has to adjust to an unfamiliar world while trying to introduce everyday conveniences from the world she knows. Her first goal is taking care of the collapsing estate of Earton and its inhabitants — and learning to navigate a society unused to a woman in charge. Constant attacks of robbers and slave traders never seem to stop plaguing Aliya, and killers and spies sent by the narcissistic aristocracy are just waiting for her to show a bit of weakness so that they can strike, even if as she finds an alternative solution to her troubles, developing alliances with the Highlanders and Vikings called the Virmans. In the meantime, she is terrified with the prospect of finally meeting her perpetually absent husband whom, incidentally, Aliya has never seen ever since her rebirth as Lilian.

Her plan is to make the best of her unusual circumstances — and to change this alternate world for the better. She is not a girl in trouble waiting for a knight in shining armor; all that Aliya has to do, she’ll do with her own hands.

First Lessons is the opening book of the bestselling historical romance and time travel fantasy series A Medieval Tale by Lina J. Potter. The heroine finds herself in the alternate world at the very beginning of a thorny path to progress and happiness. On top of everything, she has to go up against the unprogressive and sexist society of the Middle Ages, armed only with her knowledge, experience, and willpower. Still, Aliya/Lilian has to act carefully in order not to draw too much attention to her innovations — she knows she could either get praised for her genius…or be accused of witchcraft.

The bestselling time travel and historical romance A Medieval Tale series has been carefully translated into English and already gained a strong English-speaking fan base.
