YA
This novel's length and the mainly adult characters may discourage some teens at first, but the intriguing plot will draw them in. A company that has invented a time-travel machine hopes to cash in on the natural resources of sixteenth-century Britain, but they discover that dealing with the barbaric Sterkarm clan is more dangerous than expected. The novel shifts between the two centuries, and the point of view ranges among many characters.
