Orphaned at an early age, she feels everything she ever had in life has been taken away from her: her family, her happiness, her career and her lover. But when her ex suddenly offers her a job on a dig in Italy, she sees a way to regain some of what she has lost. With her career back on track, along with her love life, things are looking up for Melissa until she becomes lost in a thick mist and is thrown back in time to Ancient Rome. Taken prisoner by Roman soldiers, Melissa initially thinks it is all a bad dream. Realising her predicament is very real, her only thought is to get back to her own time and the man she loves. When circumstances have her presented to Caesar, she uses her knowledge to pose as a soothsayer and gains his patronage. But her predictions bring this new prophet to the attention of Mark Antony who wants to use Melissa to further his own career and as they grow closer, she struggles with her feelings towards him.As Melissa carefully guides both Anthony and Caesar towards their destinies, will she be revealed as a fraud? Will she ever find a way back to the present? And if that time comes, will she really want to return?
