The Polymath’s Apprentice: A Lesbian Time-Travel Fantasy Romance

About

Klingons, Robots, and Shakespeare — oh my!

Maral, trained in death by the Hassassin and tutored in desire by Lucrezia Borgia, lives beneath the weight of prophecy: she is destined to love the notorious polymath Francesca Diotima and prevent a mistake that could unmake the world. Yet in the hush of a ruined convent library, it is not Francesca she finds, but a stranger from a distant age — a woman whose quicksilver mind and stubborn courage stir dangerous longings.

Dr. Theodora Rossman, the world’s foremost expert on Quantum Temporal Dynamics, has spent her life chasing impossible theories and never quite belonging anywhere. Then the Time Stone tears her from the twenty‑first century and casts her into an age of candlelight and swordplay, where danger prowls in every shadow and a beautiful, enigmatic warrior watches her as though she is both miracle and threat.

Theo wants only to solve the mystery of the Stone, before history collapses beneath her feet. Maral wants something she has never dared imagine — freedom, and the bewildering woman she has sworn to protect.

But the Inquisition, the Knights of Sophia, and the undead Leonardo da Vinci all hunt the Time Stone… and the woman they believe to be Francesca Diotima.

As enemies close in and Creation itself begins to fray, Theo and Maral must trust one another with secrets — and with their hearts. Together, they may unlock the Stone’s true power… and discover a love which can bend Time to their will.
