Step into the chaotic, hilarious, and often dangerous world of St Mary’s — where disaster is just another part of the job description. In Jodi Taylor’s bestselling Chronicles of St Mary’s series, time travel isn’t about rewriting history; it’s about observing it — very carefully, and preferably without setting anything (or anyone) on fire.

The historians of St Mary’s Institute for Historical Research are no ordinary academics. Armed with tea, sarcasm, and well-researched plans, they journey back through time to witness some of history’s greatest moments first-hand, but disaster lurks at every turn, often caused as much by the historians themselves as by the past.

At the heart of it all is Max, whose wit, resilience, and knack for attracting trouble have made her one of contemporary fiction’s most beloved heroines. Alongside her misfit colleagues — and under the ever-watchful eye of the formidable Dr Bairstow — Max navigates deadly plots, time-travel anomalies, and the unpredictable chaos of life at St Mary’s.

Blending sharp humour, unforgettable characters, thrilling adventure, and moments of real emotional depth, The Chronicles of St Mary’s is a series that delights, surprises, and moves readers in equal measure. Perfect for anyone who loves history, science fiction, or just a brilliantly madcap story.
