Arriva il secondo volume dell’opera, dove amore e suspence si fondono in una narrazione ricca di colpi di scena e di verità storiche. I due protagonisti, a due anni e mezzo dalla conclusione della prima partita, con grande trepidazione rientrano nella realtà virtuale dello scottante videogioco Hyperversum. Impostando la data al 15 Agosto 1214 e collocando l’ambientazione al monastero di Saint Michel, Ian e Daniel danno inizio ad un’altra avventura.
Sono passati tre anni dal momento in cui Ian e Daniel si sono salutati prendendo strade (e secoli) molto diversi tra loro. Di tanto in tanto, Daniel non può fare a meno di ritentare una partita con Hyperversum, nella speranza di incontrare nuovamente l'amico. Inaspettatamente, un giorno, riceve una misteriosa mail firmata Falco d'Argento, il soprannome con cui Ian è conosciuto nella sua vita medievale. Daniel è sconvolto: come è possibile? È ancora una volta il gioco che si intromette nelle loro vite? È realmente Ian, che ha trovato un nuovo varco nel tempo? O qualcuno si cela dietro le ali del Falco? E perché?

A History professor is whisked back in time to Rome; only a few years before it's about to fall; with his foresight he attempts to not only create a living for himself but, at a later point, to stop the fall of Rome.
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.
