A Second Chance

In the tumultuous third installment of Jodi Taylor's 'Chronicles of St Mary's' series, "A Second Chance" plunges the intrepid historian Madeleine 'Max' Maxwell deeper into the perils of time travel. Having navigated a successful assignment to 17th-century Cambridge to encounter Isaac Newton and witnessed critical events at The Gates of Grief, Max's career at the Institute of Historical Research looks promising. However, her long-anticipated jump to the Trojan War unleashes a chain of events that irrevocably alters her path. Nothing will ever be the same for Max as she grapples with the devastating repercussions of her actions and the inherent dangers of meddling with history. Amidst the chaos of the bloody Battle of Agincourt, Max finds herself in a desperate gamble, risking everything she holds dear to save a life that shouldn't be saved. This pivotal moment forces her to confront the true meaning of a second chance, not just for herself, but for the very fabric of time. Packed with signature British humor, historical detail, and a large dose of chaos, this novel continues Max's journey as a 'tea-soaked disaster magnet' who proves history happens not just around you, but often, directly to you.
