Texan native Pearl Benton arrives in Australia expecting to vacation with her family, but instead, she's carried by a wormhole to Roman-ruled Egypt. Kidnapped, made a slave--Pearl doesn't understand why God abandoned her to such a horrible existence. Another time traveler works for her master, and the chance of finding the wormhole that robbed them both of normal, just might be worth putting up with his incessant teasing. Might.
An Aussie stockman turned fleet helmsman, Trey Bradley has spent years building a life for himself in Alexandria. When his boss decides to use Pearl as a bargaining tool in a summons with the Emperor Nero, he asks Trey to accompany them as her translator. Trey wants to help Pearl escape as he's helped countless others, but God says "no". How can he help deliver Pearl to Nero and live with himself? Can that truly be what God wants?
As they journey to Rome, Pearl and Trey struggle to set aside their ambitions and choose God's will above their own, even at the cost of life and love.
