Quick recap

Sue and her younger brother Eddie, American tourists in London, get separated from their group inside the gloomy Terror Tower. After dark, a man in black chases them through sewers, rats, and even their hotel. Magic stones send them to medieval England, where the Lord High Executioner locks them in a cell. The sorcerer Morgred reveals the truth: they are Princess Susanna and Prince Edward, heirs their uncle the king wants dead. Morgred sent them into the future with false memories to protect them. The siblings get the stones back and return to the present, mid-tour. The bearded man who joins them is Morgred, ready to be their new father.

    Early drafts had far more chase scenes. Editors found them dull, so Stine rewrote it with more breathers.
