Gwyn is back in time again but this time she's on a mission to influence the actions of Vlad Dracula, Prince of Wallachia, to war with Sultan Mehmed II of the Ottoman Empire. In order to make sure the course of history runs true, Gwyn takes on the mission, but risks getting stuck in Vlad's time when she falls in love with his wife. She gets help from an unexpected quarter when a rogue Ottoman soldier who nurses a grudge against Vlad and a love for Vlad's brother helps her, but the horrors of time may be too much for her to succeed.
