Annabelle Trèsmot (treh-moe) has always loved history, especially that of her own family. Every year her parents would travel to France to visit her Grand-mère. She used to listen at the edge of her seat as her Grand-mère told her stories of her past. She taught her all about where she grew up in France and about the legacy of the Trèsmot name. Because of her stories, Anna grew up dreaming of being a famous archaeologist or historian. Her Grand-mère even insisted on her learning French, Latin, and Spanish to keep history alive.
Well Annabelle didn't exactly fulfill her dream. No, instead she became a librarian at a college in Vermont.
Well all of that changed when her Grand-mère died, and she discovered a letter that she wrote for her. She gave her money to go and find history, and to be what she always wanted to be.
Anna left her job and apartment soon after and headed for the French countryside. She went to explore some castle ruins, but she probably didn't expect to wake up in the middle of the 17th century...
Now trying to find a way back to the present as well as trying to survive as woman in medieval France, Anna has to find strength within herself. If she doesn't adapt...she'll die...
Well I guess she got her wish of living in the past...
