It was supposed to be a simple mission: travel to 16th century Constantinople, infiltrate the impenetrable Topkapi palace and bring the sultan's scepter back to the present day. However, Berry can't shake the feeling that there's more to this mission than she's been told.

The brilliant and alluring Berry Biloxi is a no-holds-barred agent working for a black market time travel organization. Abandoned by her mother as an infant, Berry struggles to learn who she is while battling a federal agency determined to arrest her for unlicensed time travel and a renegade Russian operation competing for the mysterious jeweled scepter. Along the way, she'll seduce harem girls, join an assassin's cult in a bizarre ritual, get locked in a Turkish prison, and learn the true cost of love.
