Cover sample of "The Ivanhoe Gambit" Book 1 in the Series.

The story involves the adventures of an organisation tasked with protecting history from being changed by time travellers. In the world of the series, many people and events considered fictional are historical, and vice versa; the action of each book in the series weaves in and out of the events of a famous work of literature.
