Chased by a group from his own time, his sole hope for survival lies in regaining his missing memories, making allies among the locals, and perhaps even trusting in their superstitious boasts.
His only help from the "real world" should have been a guidebook entitled The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England, except his copy exploded during transit. The few fragments he managed to save provide clues to his situation, but can he figure them out in time to survive?
This is book #2 in Brandon Sanderson’s secret project series. Each book is a standalone so no need to read in order.
Given the title I was expecting somewhat of a familiar setting in mediaeval England, but then I remember this is Brandon Sanderson and there is really nothing predicable in his writing.
An entertaining story that revolved around a portal that can send people through time. So this man goes through the portal where his problems begin right away. Mainly he doesn’t remember where he came from or his purpose. Plus his handbook is of little use. As he slowly begins to regain his memory, while at the same time making new friends and enemies. And of course his past slowly comes back to haunt him.
A unique plot that disperses snippets of the handbook for time travel. Though I don’t read a lot of Sanderson books, have you seen the size of some of them, what I have read I have enjoyed.

This was a hybrid read, switching between the book and audio. I recommend both methods, the readers were great and the book not to heavy.
This was part of my 2025 Reading off my shelf challenge and it is book #16
