Can Hank reshape history without destroying it? As he navigates this ancient world, the line between progress and peril blurs, raising questions about the true cost of change. Will his futuristic vision bring prosperity or doom? Discover a unique twist on the Arthurian legend through the eyes of a time-traveling American.
