Darwin, the husband of Jayne, disappears out of their newly purchased Victorian home. It seems that several people have disappeared out of the house, Jayne learns over the next several days. Tom, an older brother of one of those that disappeared, comes to the home, and he and Jayne disappear in an upper bedroom. They land in a grassy field which has a bull in it. This begins an adventure of learning a new language and a new way of life about two hundred years earlier than the one they came from, following Darwin who is with a salesman who sells household items from his horse and wagon. Jayne and Tom begin their adventure hunting Darwin. They meet a wide array of fantasy people such as kings, a wizard, elves, and a wolflike person who communicates by telepathy. There are many more people, and all have one magical talent. Will they find Darwin?
