After the end of Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson's first season of Doctor Who, I found myself wanting more adventures with the Fifteenth Doctor and Ruby Sunday. Was this short novel the perfect fix? And where in their timeline does it fit? Let's talk about "Ruby Red" by Georgia Cook.
Publisher's Summary:
April, 1242: the Doctor and Ruby answer a distress call sent from medieval Russia. The signal's sender? Ranavere, an alien girl forced to take part in a barbaric conflict between the armies of Estonia and Novgorod on the frozen surface of Lake Peipus.
Ranavere wants to escape, but her distress call has summoned her warmongering sisters, intent on preserving family tradition whatever the cost. And as human battle begins, the Doctor and Ruby must face a more devastating threat - a monstrous entity with plans of conquest, growing stronger beneath the icy lake...
Thank you for watching! Let me know what you think in the comments below!
Have a Great Week!

P.S. The Doctor fending off mind controlled knights with a shield is 100% better than him dueling Robin Hood with a spoon, just saying.
