Book I of Carolus Rex. In Baltimore in 1805, young Sarah Cunningham’s father dies and she is alone in the world. At the behest of her aunt she leaves behind her few friends and travels across the ocean to England and a new life with a distant relative. But her’s is a journey with a difference – unbeknownst to her, powerful magic is being worked by Lady Sarah Roxbury who on her deathbed, casts a spell that will summon her counterpart from the Universe-Next-Door – Sarah. She wakes to find herself in a world not her own – here, the Stuart kings still rule England, Baltimore and the original thirteen United States are still British colonies, and Napoleon is on the rampage on the European continent…a world where she is Lady Sarah Roxbury.
