Adrian Blake is a renowned 20th century Scots cartographer. On his return from an expedition, he discovers that his fiancee, Sophia, has disappeared. He must journey through time to find her. Having explored Pompeii in the 1st century, and having found Sophia just before the explosion of Vesuvius, Adrian is once more swept up in a vortex. He regains consciousness at the gates to Jerusalem...
1552. Lord of the Ottoman dynasty, Sulaiman the Magnificent, in the wake of years of war and conquest, reigns over the greatest empire in the World.
In Jerusalem, the holy city where King David had built the Temple, where Christ preached and where the Prophet Mohammed was swept off to meet Allah, the three religions of the Book live in peace.

From the Holy Sepulcher to the Dome of the Rock, from the Wailing Wall to King Solomon's Mines, it is a race against time...
