Jerusalem, 1552. Under the rule of Sulaiman the Magnificent, the holy city — where David built the Temple, Christ preached, and Mohammed ascended to meet Allah — has become a place where the three Abrahamic faiths coexist in fragile peace. Adrian, who has become a confidante to Sulaiman's emissary, is tasked with untangling a web of intrigue that threatens to destroy that balance. Working with representatives from all three communities of the Book, he must find and protect the governor's daughter before the peace collapses entirely.
