Trapped in the Dark Ages: Time Travel Romance – The Lie of History Exposed

Описание: Dr. Elara Vance, a fastidious academic whose entire identity was built around the idyllic perfection of the scholarly Lycean Age—the glorious European 14th century, a time history lauded for its enlightened thinkers and flourishing guilds—is violently thrown into 1387 A.D. when a supposedly inert, lead-sheathed celestial astrolabe she was cataloging sparks violently during a routine ultrasonic scan. She materializes not in the sun-drenched, harmonious city of Florence she pictured, but in a sprawling, cinder-choked warren where perpetual twilight reigns, the air heavy with the stench of coal smoke and fear; the famed scholarly guilds are revealed to be paranoid military regimes, their libraries locked down by brutal 'Censors of the Crown,' who patrol the cobblestones demanding documents and burning anything that remotely resembles a freely written text. Elara realizes with sickening certainty that the meticulous primary sources she had based her entire career on were not records of an enlightened age, but masterful, generations-long propaganda concealing a grim, repressive reality where dangerous, uncataloged technologies—like the whispering metal astrolabe now fused to her forearm—are not academic curiosities, but powerful, life-threatening artifacts sought by a hidden cabal who seem to know exactly who she is and why she shouldn't exist in their carefully fabricated past.
