Publisher's Synopsis
Once Upon A Hidden Time follows the journey of Jasmine, a powerful healer and time traveler who rises to become the Queen of England after earning the trust of King Audrey. Despite possessing extraordinary abilities, including mind reading, Jasmine is plagued by the isolation her gifts bring. While she desires love, her powers reveal the selfish motivations of those who pursue her, leaving her disillusioned and lonely.
As Jasmine rules England with wisdom beyond her time, a mysterious man enters her life, one whose mind she cannot read. This enigma both terrifies and excites her, drawing her into a whirlwind of emotions she had long suppressed. The man, quoting the romantic poetry of Chrétien de Troyes, seems to be a kindred spirit, yet remains elusive. His presence challenges Jasmine's control over her powers and her heart.
Interwoven with this narrative is a parallel story set centuries later, in 1415, involving Myra and Edward, two modern-day characters who discover Jasmine's tale. Myra, feeling a deep connection to Jasmine, wonders if their lives are entwined across time. The novel blends themes of power, love, loneliness, and the curse of knowing too much.
Ultimately, "Once Upon A Hidden Time" explores the burdens that come with great power and the yearning for a love that transcends magic and control. Jasmine, despite her abilities, seeks an ordinary love, while Myra and Edward are caught in the mystical legacy of Jasmine's story.
