"During Mike's hike in the Adirondacks, he'd managed to come across something that sent him from earth to this new world Cornu. He noticed what could only be McCormick reapers and Amish plows.
He had just rescued a village from Bart's Bandits. A beautiful young woman Alania had helped him by distracting the guards. What he didn't know was that she was trying to get pregnant and had succeeded.
He also had to deal with one beautiful Royal Princess. Princess Catrina was looking to get betrothed, and when she met Mike, she knew that he would do nicely. He couldn't honestly get involved with a lovely young girl and then leave.
That's not how she saw the situation. But she was a Princess, and he was worried that her father, the Crown Prince, and her grandfather, the King, might have something to say about it. And he was worried that wouldn't be good for one Michael Mulvaney.
A culture and language he didn't understand. Bandits and assassins out to kill the royal family and him as well. A beautiful Princess who was bound and determined to have Mike as a husband. He knew that he wanted her as badly as she wanted him. But as far as he could see, that was a very bad idea.

"Mike Mulvaney, a scientific prodigy who spent four years as a Maine after his father was almost killed in 9/11, went for a hike in the Adirondacks. He unknowingly walked through a star gate or portal to another world. The planet Cornu was settled by humans in the distance past who came through gates from earth. There were changes to human genes that strongly influenced human society. More women than man dictated multiple wives. Low fertility and birthrate with low population growth limited large scale conflicts. Pheromones played an important part in picking mates and in libido. The technology was early eighteenth century and progress was slow. Much of the progress came from the very rare person who came through the gates. While wars weren't waged due to population loss, bloody dynastic plots were hatched and waged. One particularly nasty and deadly one was conceived against the royal family of Nordia by a rival kingdom. When he arrived, Mike was disoriented and worried about his sanity. Was this real or a delusion? He gathered himself and slowly set out to explore this new world and soon found himself hip deep in the plot.
Contains mature themes."
