When a modern soldier is torn from his own time, the fate of ancient Egypt rests in his hands.

James Gunn, an elite officer in Egypt's Thunderbolt Forces, is visiting Luxor's Karnak Temple with his wife, Clara, when a supernatural storm rips through the ruins. In an instant, Clara's grasp is gone — and James wakes in the heart of the pharaonic era. Mistaken for the legendary warrior Nerus, he's thrust into a brutal struggle against Thutmose, a traitorous commander who has seized the throne and plunged Egypt into tyranny.

Determined to return home, James resists the call to fight — until he witnesses the suffering of the people and forges alliances with Pharaoh Ramses, the fierce Queen Amunet of Libya, and the proud Nubian King Panehesy. Together, they face deadly trials set by the gods, treacherous battles, and impossible odds in a desperate campaign to reclaim Thebes.

As armies clash and empires burn, James must decide: is he a man out of time searching for a way back... or the hero Egypt prayed for, destined to change history forever?
