The Frenchwoman Anna and the Brit Edward barely know each other when they unknowingly touch an ancient sword in the south of France and suddenly find themselves in Malta, in the year 1564! In the midst of a time of knights, galleys, and sword fights. In the midst of a time when a major attack by the Ottomans is imminent and the knights of the Order of St. John are determined to defend their faith, even at the cost of their lives. The daring Brit and the reserved Frenchwoman have no choice but to team up – despite their differences and disagreements. While Ed is trained in sword fighting and Anna in late medieval healing practices, they desperately search for a way to return home. But events spiral out of control, and a return to the present seems unlikely.
