    About this series

    Having traveled back in time to the 16th century, Tegan Karlova battles with the harsh reality of the world in which she finds herself trapped. She loves her husband and is learning to respect the new brother she has just met, however, she finds it impossible to forget the family that raised her. She's just plain homesick. It doesn't help that this current world is filled with terror, pain, deceit, and isolation.
    To top it off she's pregnant and just plain pissed. Her husband Nicolai is off on risky business for her brother who wants to start a war. People keep trying to kill her. The bathroom facilities suck and there's no crème rinse for her hair. So when she finds a letter from her birth mother telling her why she was abandoned in the 20th century, Tegan decides going into a coma-like sleep for a few days might be the only way to escape it all.
    Questions torment her. It seems everything is out of control in this strange environment. Who can she trust? Will those she loves survive? Can she endure delivering a baby without medical assistance? Will the superstitions of this time period condemn her if they find out about all her weirdness? Most important of all, when Nicolai needs her the most, will she be able to control this elusive power and find the faith within herself to 'walk the path of time once more'?

      Visiting her aunt, Tegan Hauser searches for clues to identify a bronze bust she found in the Houston museum. This 400 year old piece of art looks shockingly like her brother. Feeling the bronze is somehow connected to the family’s fractured history, Tegan is driven to find answers to her questions. Her great Aunt Cassandra, the family historian, leaves her confused when she predicts a journey into the unknown. While driving in a storm, she finds herself mysteriously drawn back to the museum district. She decides to enter and confront the unnatural pull the sculpture exerts over her emotions. As she touches the bust, the lights go out, and Tegan is horrified to find the figure warm and pliant like human flesh. Yielding to shock, she slips into oblivion. While this is happening to our heroine, Baron Nicolai Karlova is traveling to Banya Deva, Transylvania. The stormy weather is causing all sorts of delays with his caravan. Hearing a hellish scream, Nicolai climbs a rain-swept hillside to find the source of this disturbance. Reaching the crest, he discovers an unconscious Tegan under a fallen tree. Later that night, Tegan is shocked to find she has traveled 400 years back in time to a rugged mountainside in Slovakia. As the days pass, she is forced to accept Nicolai’s protection, but she is resolved to put space between them despite her budding desire for the handsome warrior. Nicolai on the other hand, admits his lust for Tegan. He tells her in no uncertain terms, she will be his body and soul. Weeks slip into months of frustration as countless dangerous obstacles are tossed in their path. Some caused by Tegan's passionate nature; and some by the religious, superstitious, and political climate of the time. For there is more than one monster hunting in Transylvania, and the Timewalker is their prey. Can Nicolai and Tegan survive without each other, or is their love the only thing that can save them from their Tempestuous Destiny?
