520    After the death of her beloved husband and becoming a 
       single parent to her nine-year-old son Alexander, 
       overworked scientist Helen desperately needs an escape. 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.
