The magical series Braided Dimensions soars to new heights with Strange Alliances. At the start of the series, Kay, a Berkeley professor of ancient languages, falls under the spell of a charming bard who takes her to medieval time. Back home, she is determined to return to that ancient dimension where spirit-walking and mind-speak are practiced by healers and mages. With no knowledge of magic—only curiosity and a passion for old languages—Kay acquires talents only to become enmeshed in threatening plots as she crosses back and forth from present to past. When her son and daughter become entangled in the web of intrigues, she must learn to protect them or lose all she loves. Readers of Strange Alliances journey deep into Norwegian caves and high in Jutland towers of ancient time, encountering beguiling otherworld creatures and an amber stone that may be at the heart of all malice, or of sublime love. Discover surprising allies with Kay as she struggles to survive a medieval world of strange, sometimes frightening but always captivating possibilities.

Marie Judson writes a magical and time-travelling tale with Strange Alliances 

In Strange Alliances, the reader is reintroduced to Kay, where in the books before this one, she was sent to a medieval time, and now she wants to go back there. Kay is a Berkeley professor of ancient languages, but she falls for a very charismatic man. I haven't read anything by this author before, and what a hidden gem. I enjoyed it so much, that I have now followed the author and look for more books to read. Strange Alliances is part of the Braided Dimension series, and this is volume three. I have yet, but definitely will, read the stories that came before this one. I think if you want to read this series, start with the first book. I learned about the character's backstory in this book, but i will definitely read the two before, and then this one again. There is so much that Kay wants to learn, and when she finds her way back in time again, she learns more and more about the magic, and customs of a tribe long gone. This story is has a well-written plot. The author's technique of raw, magnetic characters and great plotlines is a gift.
