At the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Mystery of the Nile exhibition, Sophie Chen, a passionate archaeological photographer, accidentally touches a mysterious obsidian amulet called the Eye of Eternity while taking photos. The artifact triggers a violent time rift, pulling her and Carter Harrison, a rational ancient Egyptian relic restorer with a fear of commitment, into the past. They wake up in the scorching golden desert, shocked to realize they’ve landed in 13th-century BC Thebes. Captured as foreign spies, they are saved by a priestess who believes Sophie is a messenger of the goddess Isis. Confined in the grand Karnak Temple, they rely on each other for survival: Carter uses his historical expertise to navigate the ancient world, and Sophie’s intuitive spirit connects her to the magic of the era. As they gain the favor of Pharaoh Ramesses II, they spark dangerous political conflicts and hidden romantic feelings. But the pharaoh becomes obsessed with Sophie, planning to make her his royal bride, while a ruthless general plots to kill them. When the time rift reopens on the full moon, they must fight for their lives to escape back to the modern world. Even after returning to New York, the amulet is destroyed, and a strange scar on Carter’s body is their only proof of the journey. They drift apart, haunted by an unspoken love. Will the bond forged across three thousand years be strong enough to bring them back together, or is their ancient love lost forever in the flow of time?
