The time is December 1999. Millennial fever holds the world in its grip - stirring ancient and terrible fears that the apocalypse is at hand. In the Sinai desert, archeologist Catherine Alexander just unearthed a cache of six ancient papyrus scrolls that point to the millennium's most transforming secret.

Moving through the exotic settings of California, Hawaii, and Africa, New York Times bestselling author Barbara Wood weaves a rich and compelling story of three women's lives and the challenges they face in their careers and in their relationships.

Hannah Conroy es una mujer adelantada a su tiempo. Ha estudiado para ser comadrona en un hospital de Londres y ha regresado a casa para ayudar a su padre, que ejerce la medicina. Hannah también quiere ser médido, pero en la Inglaterra de mediados del siglo XIX las mujeres tienen cerradas todas las puertas de la profesión. Al fallecer su padre, Hannah decide emprender el viaje de su vida: se embarca rumbo a Australia, un país en pleno florecimiento, repleto de oportunidades para una mujer tan intrépida como ella.

No corporation is quite like Harmony Biotech, the ultramodern health products dynasty based on ancient Chinese remedies. And no greater challenge has ever confronted its CEO, Charlotte Lee, than the series of deaths that strike users of its products in a single terrifying week. And because all the victims were known to be her enemies, Charlotte Lee had become a prime suspect. Her hunt for her nemesis will lead her through the midnight labyrinths of the Internet―and to a place and a time where today’s technology was barely a whisper.

After her mother's death in 1857, Leyla's only links with her heritage and family are a letter and her last name—Pemberton. Resolved to seek out her past, she travels from London to the brooding countryside mansion of Pemberton Hurst. Leyla longs to find a loving family, but more important, she needs to uncover the truth of her past. But the Pembertons seem strangely reluctant to discuss family history, and the house feels smothered by the weight of untold secrets.
