In 15th century England the last thing on a man's mind is to check his email. The teenage girl never frets with how many likes she got on her last selfie. As a young boy you found ways to entice entertainment out of a stick instead of having an Ipad do it for you. Christian, an inexperienced entertainer working at an Medieval Times restaurant in the year of 2018, was supposed to be halfway to Washington by now. However after a dreadful car crash he finds himself climbing out of his soaked Ford F150 half expecting someone looking to exchange insurance. Only to meet four knights looking to exchange steel instead. This has got to be a dream.

Nothing graphic or particularly steamy on page, but true to reality the teenage characters are in fact married. Some brief violence. Some brief profanity. Some psychological discussions regarding family relationships.Complete
