More DescriptionWhat if you could travel back in time to the most glorious and decadent city of the ancient world? That's what happens to Joe Andrews, a modern-day history teacher who finds himself in Pompeii, a year before its historic destruction. With no way home and no choice but to fit in, he becomes Iosephus Andrius, a respected scholar with a mysterious secret: he knows what catastrophe the future holds. But his attempts to warn the people of Pompeii are met with hostility and danger. Chronos, the town's official seer, considers him a rival and a threat, and a mysterious cult with a sinister agenda wants him dead. Joe's heart is torn between his love for Marcus, a handsome servant, and his duty to save the city from the wrath of Vesuvius. Can Joe survive the perils of Pompeii and change history? Or will he be buried alive under the ashes of time?
