Everything begins with a simple suspicion from a historian, with what seems like routine analytical work. Étienne Pélie, a specialist in the Middle Ages, turns to El for consultation and help. His discovery needs to be verified by traveling into the past. The Time Service workers of the 26th century discover and combine several insignificant historical events into a single anomaly. They’re all connected by the same person named Dominique Béchard. The main heroine, El, begins an investigation and, as part of an expedition, goes back into the past. That’s how the book’s characters end up in an incredible predicament, where everything turns out not to be what they saw at the start of working on the task. From the author: This book can be read on its own if you’re not bothered by the sharpness of the heroes and the weirdness of events whose premises you don’t know. For people with a developed inner world and imagination.
