The Sting of the Dark Tower

The writer C.S. Lewis is invited to visit a lab in 1940's Cambridge England where he is shown a device called a "chronoscope" that does to time what a telescope does to space. The chronoscope shows strange images of a dark tower ruled by men with stingers on their foreheads. An accident with the machine results in minds being switched between Cambridge and the dark tower. In the present, a precocious teenager and her mysterious nanny explore and ultimately complete this work of fiction that was discovered after C.S. Lewis's death.

Juniper finishes the story, having Camilla rescue Scudamour and overthrow the Dark Tower's overlord. Eleanor and Juniper finally talk about why Eleanor is there.

Juniper continues telling the story of the Dark Tower. Camilla arrives and everyone watches as Scudamour goes on trial in the Dark Tower.

Eleanor begins reading "The Dark Tower" to Juniper. A philosophical discussion about time travel becomes a demonstration of the chronoscope. An accident with the chronoscope ends up with minds being switched.
