Publisher's Synopsis
For Kivrin, preparing for on-site study of one of the deadliest eras in human history was as simple as receiving inoculations against the diseases of the fourteenth century. For her instructors in the twenty-first century, it meant painstaking calculations and careful monitoring of the rendezvous location where Kivrin would be retrieved when her study was done. Then a crisis strangely linking past and future strands Kivrin in the middle of the Black Death as her friends desperately try to rescue her. In a time of superstition and fear, Kivrin - barely of age herself - finds she has become an unlikely angel of hope during one of history's darkest hours.
