Synopsis
Resident surgeon Ryn Wilkie's life spins off-axis when an assault catapults her to a parallel Earth that’s stuck in the gaslit shadows of the Victorian age. Here medicine stagnates, women are silenced, and tradition reigns supreme—but Ryn discovers she holds a unique power: she can slip between worlds. Armed with modern medical knowledge and fueled by defiance, Ryn battles outdated beliefs, ignites technological revolutions, and dares to rewrite history. With danger following in her footsteps—and her attacker hunting for new victims—can she unravel the threads of oppression or will tradition pull her down? "Jump" into the first book of the Worlds of Ryn Wilkie . “Some of the best Sci-Fi I’ve read in years.” “…reminds me of Heinlein and Asimov…”
