Description:  Travel through time from 2048 to 14th century, constrained by automatic avoidance of paradoxes. The title of the book is a reference to the Domesday Book of 1086; Kivrin, the main character, says that her recording is "a record of life in the Middle Ages, which is what William the Conqueror's survey turned out to be." Kivrin Engle, a young historian specializing in medieval history, persuades her reluctant instructor, Professor James Dunworthy, and the authorities running the project to send her to Oxford in 1320,[6] encouraged by Professor Gilchrist, who takes charge of the project in the absence of the department head to try to enhance his own prestige. This period had previously been thought too dangerous, because it stretched the time travel net 300 years earlier than it had been used before.[5] Kivrin will be the first historian to visit the period, and is confident that she is well prepared for what she will encounter.
