In the shadows of a world that no longer wants her, Diana Edison is a woman defined by what she lost. A brilliant mind for chemistry and medicine, her future as a pharmaceutical scientist vanished in the wake of a failed licensing exam she can't explain.
Now, trapped in the gray monotony of a mediocre high school, she spends her days teaching history to children who don't care, and her nights drowning the sting of her "failed" life in a bottle.
Desperate and untethered, Diana seeks an end in the dark waters of a local lake. But death does not take her. Instead, the freezing water pulls her back through the fabric of time, depositing her in the blistering heat and fractured politics of the 12th-century Kingdom of Jerusalem.
She wakes in a world of swords and superstition, standing before a man hidden behind a silver mask: King Baldwin IV, the Leper King.
To the medieval world, his disease is a divine curse; to Diana, it is a biological puzzle she was born to solve. With the knowledge of a modern scientist and the desperation of a woman with nothing left to lose, Diana sets her sights on a goal more daring than any historical record: she will cure the incurable, claim the title of Saintess, and rewrite the laws of God and man to become the first female Pope in history.
