The Hand of Maud

A Christian Time Travel Romance

By: Patti A. Pierucci

Narrated by: Ellen A. Connor

A priceless relic lost to history. A woman lost in time. A love that could change both forever. When Eleanor MacLean awakens on a medieval battlefield in 1214, she finds herself stranded in a world of knights, betrayal, and England’s missing crown jewels. Struggling to survive in a brutal age, Eleanor must navigate shifting alliances, her own growing reliance on God, and the dangerous secret of the legendary Hand of Maud—a jewel-encrusted relic that men are willing to kill for. But when she crosses paths with Thomas, a brave and honorable suitor, Eleanor faces an even greater challenge: guarding her heart. Torn between her twenty-first-century life and the magnetic pull of a medieval man who loves her, she must decide if love is worth the risk of never returning home.

The Hand of Maud is a spellbinding blend of time-travel adventure, medieval historical fiction, romance, and Christian themes. Perfect for fans of Diana Gabaldon (Outlander), Lisa T. Bergren (River of Time), and Phillipa Gregory, this story plunges you into a perilous age where the fate of the crown—and Eleanor’s heart—hangs in the balance. If you enjoy Christian historical fiction with romance, suspense, and rich medieval detail, you won’t want to miss this captivating audiobook.

Go on a journey

Let's go on a journey back in time on this romantic quest. Fun romantic read, something to make you mesmerize and take your mind of your stressful life. Pretty fun book to listen to.

Back in Time & Love

This story of love unravels within the story lines of going back in time and remaining true to herself.

The medieval world setting pulls you right in

I like this book because it pulls you into the medieval world and keeps you there. It has a mix of history, faith, and romance that feels natural and kept the tension high without being over the top. It was easy to get caught up in the character's choices and the danger around her.

I literally prayed

I love books that place God front and center in peoples lives. It’s where He belongs. I had read and re-read some of my favorites. I needed a new one. I prayed to find a book that would be pleasing to the Lord and that I would love. The hand of Maud came up. I didn’t recognize it as my new favorite to be. I got it and read it. It was so good! It was exciting and fast paced. Many characters you can’t help but fall in love with. They feel real, you can picture them so clearly. The author knew who she was creating in this story. Elenor could not be more beloved, nor the family that took her in as she made her way through England in the middle ages. Gone from a fair into the past, to a time long forgotten to most of us. There is so much more than a romance. Though the romance is pretty amazing! Mystery, suspense and it keeps you on your toes. Read it, you won’t be disappointed….Well only in King John.

Like Outlander, but with a Christian twist

I couldn't stop listening .. I was immediately drawn into the story of the lost crown jewels, the medieval world of the evil King John, and Eleanor and Thomas's love story. I recommend this book for fans of Outlander and Bridgerton, but who want a clean reading experience. The time travel twist was believable and created extra tension. Great read, looking forward to the sequel.
