Christopher felt a strangeness while standing under three lightning trees in Fillongley castle ruins. His sister teased him to make a wish to go back to the past, never expecting it to come true.
Bewildered, Christopher discovers he has arrived in the year 1266. It is a horrible time with famine and battles. Captured by Lord Henry de Hastings, he is marched to Kenilworth Castle and set to work. When the castle is besieged by King Henry III, there seems no escape.
Andrea blamed herself and sets out on a quest to rescue her brother. She asks Grumple for help. He says he is a 'sort' of wizard and suggests she finds the Witch of Crackley Woods.
