Time Travelers Chloe and Cheftu end up in the Biblical era of King David and the birth of Jerusalem. Mistaken for a mermaid goddess then captured as a slave, Chloe eventually ends up as a trusted advisor in King David’s court along with her husband Cheftu, appointed court scribe. Old enemies aren’t far behind, and our heroes must prevent a plan that would destroy the holy city. And when they succeed, they’ll face a choice. Chloe can’t return to her own time, so will they stay in this era or move on to the sequel?
A slow beginning, as usual it takes a little time to become accustomed to the period that Chloe and Cheftu have traveled to. Then they have to find each other, at least in the book it didn't take forever, and this time Chloe is in her own skin with red hair and pale white skin. Their reunion is a bit anti-climatic, but things pick up once they do, but they both become slaves!

A woman travels back in time. A wonderful historical romance. Beautifully done. A real jem of a find. A must read.
En su periplo por el espacio y el tiempo, Chloe vuelve a zambullirse en el tiempo en busca de su amado Cheftu y va a parar a orillas del Mediterráneo, a la ciudad de Ascalón. Chloe es confundida con la diosa del mar, y como tal deberá interceder por su pueblo, los filisteos, amenazados por una coalición de tribus dirigidas por el rey Dadua. Chloe descubrirá que ha ido a parar a Canaán, la tierra de promisión bíblica. Cuando al fin puede reunirse con Cheftu, ambos se convertirán en vasallos de Dadua, que no es otro que David, el rey israelita. Junto a él, Chloe y Cheftu vivirán extraordinarias aventuras: mientras Cheftu participa en la recuperación del tesoro del éxodo, Choe ayudará al rey David en la conquista de show more Jerusalén. Pero el destino les depara otras duras pruebas y arduos peligros, pues la nueva nación de Israel debe defenderse contra RaEm, una intrigante viajera en el tiempo que planea hacerse con el poder en Egipto... show less
Tidsresenärerna Chloe och Cheftu hamnar i Davids Jerusalem. Tredje delen i serien och jag vill gärna läsa de andra nu. Undrar också varför den tyska titeln antyder att det ska handla om Jericho. Det är ju Jerusalem det ska vara!
