'We don't know where on Earth you'll wind up,' Ra Chen had told him.
And the Director of the Institute for Temporal Research didn't know precisely when, either. All he knew was that Haville Svetz would be travelling back in time almost 2,000 years.
But when he returns, Hanville Svetz won't be alone. If his mission is successful he will be accompanied by a creature long extinct — a spectacular birthday present for the Secretary-General. His only hope is a picture from a children's book. A picture of a horse.
And so begins the first incredible adventure in time of Hanville Svetz.

New York Times bestselling author Maria Dahvana Headley presents a modern retelling of the literary classic Beowulf, set in American suburbia as two mothers—a housewife and a battle-hardened veteran—fight to protect those they love in The Mere Wife. From the perspective of those who live in Herot Hall, the suburb is a paradise. Picket fences divide buildings—high and gabled—and the community is entirely self-sustaining. Each house has its own fireplace, each fireplace is fitted with a container of lighter fluid, and outside—in lawns and on playgrounds—wildflowers seed themselves in neat rows. But for those who live surreptitiously along Herot Hall's periphery, the subdivision is a fortress guarded by an intense network of gates, surveillance cameras, and motion-activated lights. For Willa, the wife of Roger Herot (heir of Herot Hall), life moves at a charmingly slow pace. She flits between... Views: 145
