Wade of Aquitaine
Summary
Deep in the Dark Ages, with Vikings to the north and Aghlabid pirates to the south, a small flicker of the Roman Empire has been nurtured as an island of high civilization. Defeated Longobards scheme to bring it down from within. If Byzantium falls 600 years too soon, nothing of Western civilization will survive to spark the Renaissance. Enter Wade Linwood of the 21st century. Suffering of crossed senses where scents can conjure objects and sights can call up tastes, he wants nothing but the ordinary life of an insurance underwriter. When a trip to the acupuncturist opens an unused portal in his synesthete's brain, a plea from the past draws him to a time when he must save the remaining shreds of history to preserve his own. "Many would be lucky to write a whole series marked by the wit and gift for swashbuckling action and romance that Parris builds into his debut.... A sharply intelligent and energetic historical fantasy." (Kirkus Reviews)

Kreindia of Amorium
Summary
New threats to Byzantium... Wade of Aquitaine’s troubles are just beginning when his female counterpart from the ninth century is claimed as the daughter of Wade’s 21st century adversary. Young Kreindia of Amorium, gifted with her own concentration of synesthesia-fueled powers, has uncovered new threats to Byzantium, and specifically her uncle, Michael Psellus, who sits accused of treason while Wade finds himself in a different century defending the Holy Roman Empire on his own. By now the fellow synesthetes are bound up in an emotional destiny in which Kreindia and Wade encounter unforeseen challenges that could make their separation - and thus the future of their universes - all the more perilous. Join Kreindia of Amorium Born under the curse of time-blindness in the 8th century, her mind instead drift-samples other dimensions allowing her to spy through the tattered astral plane. That’s how she senses the presence of a far more powerful synesthete who wants no rivals. It is up to Kreindia without Wade to navigate the corrupted branches of time to restore them before history itself collapses.
