So when Alexander proposes a trip to Greece--somewhere he's always dreamed of visiting--Helen quickly agrees. After spending several days exploring the tourist-filled streets, they stumble upon the ancient city of Mystras and are instantly drawn to it. Its only resident is Elias, a mysterious tour guide living on the city's edges...both physically and temporally. In 1237, Elias's mother promised his eternal service to the Profitis Ilias in Mystras in exchange for surviving a terrible illness. But during his 800 years of labor, he's had one common enemy: the noble Lusignan family. The Lusignan line is cursed by a deadly disease that worsens with each generation, and a prophecy hints that Elias's blood is their only hope for a cure. He has managed to survive throughout the centuries, but the line has dwindled down to the last Lusignan and he is desperate to avert his family's destiny. When Elias runs into Helen, he meets his match for the first time--but he unwittingly puts both her and her young son in danger as a result. With time running out and an enemy after them, Elias and Helen are forced to choose between the city they love, and each other. 650 0 $a Women scientists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mothers and sons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Vacations $z Greece $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Love stories. $2 gsafd 941 $a 1 945 $a lpt 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010030159.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0A2C8492673311EEBF3E118F48ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
