In this epic science fiction adventure, an unlikely pair of brilliant researchers team up in Northern Israel to probe the ruins of Tel Hazor.
Twenty-three-year-old scholar Hannah Aston has extensively studied Near Eastern History and Biblical Archaeology-her partner, Seijung Ford, is intended to be the next great genius of applied physics and engineering. As they explore the underground passages and tunnels beneath the ruins, their watches suddenly stop as a figure stands in the light in front of them. Without warning, the two researchers are immersed in a world where Val Anna, a displaced girl from the early twentieth century, becomes a scapegoat for travelers from other worlds locked in an ancient war. An heirloom artifact transports her back to the Auriga, a spacecraft buried deep beneath the Canaanite city of Hazor, and Val Anna must confront Kal-Nergal, a Mesopotamian slave-boy who has become a sorcerer.
As Kal-Nergal attempts to use his special powers to jeopardize mankind's survival for the sake of revenge, Val Anna must try to thwart his plan and, in the process, may destroy her only way home.
