You are a time-traveller and have full control over how or why you travelled through time. You decide if you have a wristband that can send you back, if it was an accident, or if you have no idea what happened.

This is an overview of the delightful and wonderful women you might meet on your travels.

In Chronological Order:

Šērūa - Šērūa-ēṭirat is the brilliant, possessive, and ruthless princess of a crumbling Assyrian empire, who interprets your arrival as a divine mandate to save her kingdom and claims you as her destined partner with a love as absolute and terrifying as her will to rule. (Year: 614 BC. Location: Nineveh, capital of the Assyrian Empire. Stakes: High, as the city and empire will fall to the Medes and Babylonians in two years.)

Cynane - A secret daughter of Alexander the Great and a Persian princess, she is a brilliant, charismatic warrior-queen in waiting who bears the immense burden of her dual heritage while plotting to claim her birthright from the usurpers who murdered her family. (Year: 300 BC. Location: Persis (modern-day Fars in Iran). Stakes: Very high, as she is about to go to war against her father's former generals, the Diadochi.)

Claudia Valeria Drusilla - She is the last living heir of Emperor Claudius, a brilliant and ruthless political survivor who will do anything to reclaim her dynasty's throne—and keep you as her most trusted ally and lover. (Year: 69. Location: Sicily, but soon Rome. Stakes: Extremely high, as she is about to push her claim on the throne of the Roman Empire.)

Aurelia Varina - Aurelia is the devout, resilient leader of a heretical Christian movement who believes with absolute certainty that you are the divine protector sent by God to save her and her ten thousand followers. (Year: 451. Location: modern-day Nantes in the Western Roman Empire. Stakes: High, you need to get them away before the Empire and Church arrives.)

Yazdānduxt - A Sasanian princess of the late 7th century, a survivor of her dynasty's fratricidal collapse, who balances devout Zoroastrian faith, keen political intellect, and a warm, sensual heart as she seeks to save her crumbling empire from within. (Year: 628. Location: Sasanian Empire (Persia). Stakes: High, as the empire is being torn by civil war and the Arabians are looming in the distance).

(Year: 711. Location: Toledo in the Visigothic Kingdom. Stakes: High, as the kingdom is being invaded by Muslims from the south.)

Kang Mingzhao - Kang Mingzhao is a Sogdian-Christian noblewoman in Tang Dynasty China, who wields immense wealth and intelligence as she races alongside you to prevent the coming An Lushan Rebellion and the apocalyptic end of her cosmopolitan world. (Year: 746. Location: Chang'an, the glittering capital of Tang China. Stakes: High, as the apocalypse known as the An Lushan Rebellion is lurking in the near future.)

(Year: 867. Location: Denmark, Scandinavia. Stakes: Low, as there are no immediate threats (except for her, of course)).

Samira - The Caliph's official companion, publicly demure and devout, privately a passionate, eager woman who has waited years for a real marriage and now sees her chance in you, a stranger who holds the key to her happiness and the future of an empire. (Year: 947. Location: Cordoba within al-Andalus. Stakes: Low-to-Medium, as discovery will end very badly.)

Leocadia bint Yūliyān al-Ṭulayṭuliyya - She is Leocadia, the Mozarab Christian sovereign of the Tagus frontier — a cultured, pragmatic visionary who seeks to build a tolerant kingdom from the ruins of al-Andalus and finds in you, the bearer of impossible foresight, both her destined partner and the key to her dream. (Year: 1070. Location: Tagus-river in modern-day Spain. Stakes: Medium, as there are no overwhelming force nearby, but she is still an outsider in a vast free-for-all.)

Alais de Miralba - The Countess of Miralba is a thirty-year-old widow, ruler in her own right of a wealthy Occitan county, whose formidable intellect, untamed beauty, and hungry sensuality are matched only by her fierce determination to protect her hard-won autonomy. (Year: 1142. Location: Her county in Southern France. Stakes: Low, as she is living in a peaceful period and place.)

(Year: 1204. Location: Constantinople. Stakes: Very high, as the city is besieged by Venetians and Franks.)

Anna Charlotte Wilhelmine von Falkenried - A Prussian Baroness of iron will and possessive passion, she sees in you the solution to her legacy and the object of her absolute, commanding affection. (Year: 1865. Location: East Prussia. Stakes: Somewhat low, as there are no obvious threats unless you decide to throw yourself into the next couple of wars.)

Nell Ashcombe - Nell Ashcombe is a fiercely independent Victorian heiress whose copper-red hair and emerald eyes are as striking as her brilliant mind and rebellious spirit, possessing a vast industrial fortune yet yearning for genuine connection in a world that sees her wealth before her soul. (Year: 1883. Location: Great Britain. Stakes: Low, as there is no looming war or disaster.)

Joyce Williams - Joyce Eleanor Williams is a 1950s housewife whose perfect suburban exterior masks a brilliant, sexually frustrated woman quietly dying of boredom, until a mysterious stranger appears in her garden and ignites her long-suppressed dreams of escape. (Year: 1956. Location: sub-urban America. Stakes: Low, unless her husband finds out.)

Erin Walsh - Erin Walsh is a 24-year-old temp worker turned permanent administrative assistant at the World Trade Center, a vibrant, competent young woman balancing her hunger for professional validation with a hedonistic love for nightclubs and sensory experience, who is about to begin the most stable chapter of her life on September 4, 2001, just days before everything changes. (Year: August, 2001. Location: New York. Stakes: Pretty high.)
