Als erste Bücher der Serie habe ich Spuren in der Zeit (Footsteps in Time) und Prinz der Zeit (Prince of Time) geschrieben. Tochter der Zeit ist erst entstanden, nachdem eine Vielzahl von Lesern wissen wollte, wie die Geschichte begann. Megs Reise geht weiter in Spuren in der Zeit und Wind der Zeit, einer Novelle, die als Begleitband zur Serie gedacht ist. Viel Vergnügen beim Lesen!
