Synopsis

A man wakes in what appears to be Anglo-Saxon England with no memory of who he is or how he got there. He has a handbook — The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England — that suggests he purchased a trip to an alternate-history dimension.

The chapters are interspersed with excerpts from the absurdly practical in-universe travel guide, which cheerfully advises tourists on how to navigate Viking raids and medieval hygiene on a budget.

As the man pieces together his identity and the reason he was sent to this dimension, he discovers the locals have their own relationship with magic that complicates the supposedly mundane alternate history he purchased. The most comedic and least Cosmere-connected of the 2022 Secret Projects, it was published as Secret Project 2.
