Logline: A 21st-century museum researcher accidentally travels 2,000 years into the past, only to be captured by the very man whose cruelty she studies: a ruthless tyrant king. Now, she must use her knowledge of history to survive his court, all while fighting a dangerous attraction to the monster himself. Dr. Elara Vance is a brilliant researcher, a woman who understands the past. From the safety of her modern-day museum, she analyzes the artifacts left behind by the "Scorpion King," Emperor Kaelen—a man infamous in history texts as a bloodthirsty tyrant who burned libraries and slaughtered thousands. She thought she knew him. She was wrong. During a freak accident involving a newly discovered artifact, Elara is pulled backward through time. She wakes up bruised, confused, and breathing the air of an ancient, brutal civilization. She is immediately captured and dragged before the one man she recognizes instantly: the tyrant himself. Emperor Kaelen is younger, more handsome, and far more terrifying than the history books described. He sees her strange clothes and stranger knowledge as a threat—or perhaps, a new weapon. Kaelen is intrigued by this sharp, defiant woman who appears from nowhere. She knows his secrets, his architecture, even the date of his battles. He decides to keep her alive, making her his personal "curator" to explain the "omens" she brings. Trapped in a deadly game of survival, Elara must navigate the vipers of the royal court and the cold fury of the king. But as she gets closer, she sees glimpses of the man behind the tyrant—a ruler burdened by prophecy, haunted by betrayal, and desperate for control. She knows how his story ends. History says he will be assassinated, his empire crumbling into dust. But the more she understands him, the more she finds her heart betraying her mind. Can she change history to save the man she is beginning to love? Or will loving a tyrant cost her everything, including her own time?
