For Kivrin Engle, preparing an on-site study of one of the deadliest eras in humanity's history was as simple as receiving inoculations against the diseases of the fourteenth century and inventing an alibi for a woman traveling alone. For her instructors in the twenty-first century, it meant painstaking calculations and careful monitoring of the rendezvous location where Kivrin would be received.

But a crisis strangely linking past and future strands Kivrin in a bygone age as her fellows try desperately 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.

É um livro muito bom e muito diferente do que eu esperava. Uma história de ficção cientifica/histórica que te leva num paralelo entre o futuro e o passado, passando por duas epidemias distintas. Apesar de ficcional, é um relato sensível da devastação causada pela peste durante a idade média.
