The Cast in Time series by Ed Nelson follows a modern person thrust into medieval Europe, where survival depends on mastering the politics and warfare of the era. Starting as a Baron, the protagonist works through the feudal hierarchy across eight books.
Each installment raises the stakes as the main character gains more power and responsibility. The series combines historical world-building with the fish-out-of-water tension that comes from a time traveler trying to fit into a society with very different rules.
