    Summary

    ❝ Ex hoc momento pendet aeternitas ❞ (Eternity is hinged upon this moment.)

     

    Salomé came from an old aristocratic family in which the first-born daughter inherits a special power that would allow her to travel in time, to the past. It was her older sister, Madeleine, who was supposed to get it, not her. Suddenly, in the middle of Madeleine’s birthday party, she disappears, only to find herself in another period of history

    When she manages to return to the present - France under the rule of Emperor Napoleon III - she is sent to accompany her uncle in his expedition to Egypt as his personal assistant. Unexpectedly, she is thrown into the past once again, but this time, she is in Egypt during the Crusades. When Frankish knights come to her aid, she is brought back to Jerusalem against her will. Thinking they are helping her, they are causing her more trouble. She must find a way to head back home, to present-day. Admitting that she comes from the future is not an option.
