She thought it was real. She was wrong.

When Sophia wakes up in 15th-century England, she expects hardship—but nothing prepares her for this brutal, unforgiving world. Lost, alone, and desperate to return to her husband and son, she vows to find a way home. But as weeks pass, Sophia finds kinship and purpose in this strange land.

After a violent attack, she takes fate into her own hands, disguising herself as a man to train under Henry, the castle’s enigmatic master-at-arms. As steel clashes and their connection deepens, forbidden desire ignites.

Yet Henry is not the knight he claims to be. His real name is Ethan, and this is the least of the lies he tells her. Falling for Sophia was never part of the plan—but the closer they become, the more he realises how wrong it is to keep her in the dark.

As danger closes in and the lines between reality and deception blur, Sophia must uncover the truth about Henry—and herself—before she runs out of time.


Outlander meets Black Mirror in this sizzling dark time travel romance.

Top 5 favorite Video Games. (Jaime here. I’m going to comment on some of the games since I love them too!)

I don’t play video games much on my own—I’d rather curl up with a book—but when I do, I love diving into deep, choice-driven RPGs with my partner. And honestly? Some of these games tell better stories with better plot twists than most movies today. Here are my top five favourites:

 

1. Baldur’s Gate 3

Co-op adventures don’t get better than this. The storytelling, the choices (often between bad and worse), and the ability to shape your character’s fate—it’s everything I love in a game. Plus, playing with my partner makes every decision feel even more intense. Should we save the innocent villager… or loot their corpse for a better sword? Tough choices.

 

2. Divinity: Original Sin 2

Another fantastic co-op RPG where every decision matters. The turn-based combat is incredible, but it’s the story that hooked me—political intrigue, betrayal, and moments where I just sat there, controller in hand, thinking, Did we really just do that? The freedom to roleplay and shape the world is unmatched.

 

3. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

I still remember watching my partner play this during COVID, completely absorbed in the world. The expansion Blood and Wine, set in a medieval, South-of-France-inspired land, felt like a virtual holiday when we were all stuck at home. The game nails morally grey choices, and Geralt’s world is both brutal and beautiful.

 

Jaime- Agree with all of the above! I LOVE The Witcher 3 so much so that I’ve played it twice and it’s a long game lol. I love the stories and all of the fun side missions!

 

4. Cyberpunk 2077

Dystopian, heartbreaking, and packed with impossible choices—what’s not to love? The story pulled me in completely, and the setting is just stunning. It’s one of those games where you sit there after finishing it, staring at the screen, unsure what to do with yourself.

 

5. Horizon Zero Dawn

The blend of post-apocalyptic sci-fi and ancient landscapes is breathtaking, and Aloy’s journey is one of my favourite in gaming. The twists! The mystery behind the world kept me hooked, and the giant robot dinosaurs were just a bonus!

 

Jaime- This and Horizon Forbidden West are 2 of my all-time favorite games! I love them so much that Aloy is my Playstation Avatar.

 

Oh, and Ghost of Tsushima deserves a shout-out—those stunning Japanese landscapes were pure balm for my soul.

 

Jaime- This is one of the mist visually stunning games I have ever played! I will replay it from time to time just so I can see the beautiful scenery. Also if you’re a Ghost fan give Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Rise of the Ronin a try. They’re both set in feudal Japan and are equally beautiful and super fun!

 

 

About Eliza Hampstead:

Award-winning author Eliza Hampstead is a scientist by training but a storyteller at heart. When she’s not lost in writing (or researching obscure medieval facts she swears are relevant to the plot), she’s fully embracing her geeky side—whether that’s strategising over a board game, getting emotionally invested in an RPG, or conquering virtual worlds.

A lifelong fantasy lover, she’s always dreaming up her next adventure—both on the page and in real life. If time travel were possible, she’d already be in medieval England, probably getting into trouble with a sword. Until then, she’ll settle for writing stories filled with forbidden love, surprising twists, and just the right amount of spice.
