After a tragic accident that sent her back 843 years in time to the year 1179, in the Middle Ages, during the reign of Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, Kate Mitchell, a wealthy business tycoon in the pharmaceutical industry, a gifted ex-military, a pharmacologist and botanist, and a brilliant archer from 2022, wakes up as Lady Philippa, a pretty, innocent, frail, and proper young lady of House Antioch, with whom she shares nothing in common. She realised she had died on that day, and her soul travels back in time and takes over the body of Philippa, a helpless lady who would face tragedy, betrayal, and scandal before dying young and heartbroken.
She chose to live as Philippa because she had a second chance at life and only one goal in mind: to live and survive at any cost. To succeed, she must thrive and learn to live in the Medieval era, where nothing is common for her, and, above all, she must avoid an arranged marriage, which will doom Phillipa to death after a terrible heartbreak.
Lady Philippa, unfortunately, is about to be engaged to an unknown man, and she must devise a plan to prevent this from happening. Kate's background as an ex-military officer, pharmacologist, and botanist, as well as her limited knowledge of history, will be invaluable in surviving the historical mediaeval times when modern technology was out of reach. However, she requires the assistance of the reigning king, Baldwin IV, who is suffering from leprosy at the time. She'll have to take control of the situation. It is up to Kate's bravery and intelligence to find a way to persuade Baldwin IV to help her, and she has few options other than joining his royal court.
Will the king accept her, or will she perish as the body's original owner? Will she be able to change her destiny? Alternatively, will she be able to find the love and family she seeks?
The 15th Century is no place for an enlightened, intelligent and beautiful woman like 22 year old Princess Catherine, Duchess of Shadowfort.
Heiress presumptive to the Crown of Fontland, at a young age Catherine was labelled as a disappointment, worthless and a witch...an accusation that will lead her to not only her imprisonment but to unlock powers so great that it will be feared across all the Realm of Roans Banished from public sight, due to her act of treason and attempted regicide on the new King, Catherine seems to be all alone...or is she?
We shall travel back to 1442 to Raven Palace, where Princess Catherine is imprisoned , will she regain her kingdom and crown, despite the harsh obstacles and consequences ahead ?
In order to find out her regal fate we'll start with the end of her life...at her deathbed where she retells through short and long accounts in her diary of what she calls her 'countless nights in hell'
