The jade bracelet will transport Penny to her true love, or so the legend says. Did he have to be in Medieval Times?
Penny Rothchild lives a pretty simple and somewhat boring life, but she likes it. She likes her normal routine, her hermit ways, and the fact that she's perfected her "leave me alone" glare. So what happens when Penny's best friend Ginger, who likes to think of herself as a psychic witch, buys a jade bracelet from the black market and presents it to Penny for her twenty-fourth birthday? Something unexpected. Something magical. Something very unwanted. With the snap of a bracelet clasp, Penny is transported backwards in time, to a place and era not lived for hundreds, maybe thousands of years. Suddenly Penny's life becomes much less boring. She finds herself digging her way through archaic lifestyles; burly, disgusting men; handsome, unavoidable knights; tight corsets; horrible body-odor; false accusations; ancient sicknesses and medical practices; and a pesky little war. While she struggles for answers to how she came to be thrust into such a bizarre place and how she can get out, she realizes just how amazing life can be if you just open yourself up a little.
