Waterstones Says


Take a journey to a vanished world with the ADVENTURES IN TIME series - stories so exciting you won't believe they're all true

'Winter has come; and in a far distant land, a warrior queen is expecting a child...'

For no one is safe from the wheel of fortune: it can take you from a golden throne to the Tower of London...
