An ancient fortress ... A desperate last stand ... Trapped in a time she doesn't belong ... Will Gwyn change the course of history just to survive? On holiday from university with her family in Israel, Gwyn stumbles across a strange device while exploring the ruins of Masada.

Blending in is her only option to stay alive; but can she escape before the siege comes to a head?
