Когда-то давным-давно жили три ведьмы... В детстве Амарра обожала сказки своей бабушки о трех ведьмах, которые были членами гарема короля. Но это были не просто сказки. Амарра знает, что она была там вместе с ними, и теперь их наследие, вместе с древней шкатулкой, которая когда-то принадлежала им, находится в её руках. Амарра была поручена беречь эту шкатулку, и её сердце разбилось, когда шкатулка была украдена у неё во время переезда в Америку.
Годы спустя она была шокирована, увидев шкатулку по телевизору, и твёрдо решила вернуть её обратно. Поиски артефакта привели её к сержанту Харрисону Броксону, красивому солдату, который пробудил воспоминания о мужчине, которого она знала много веков назад в древнем Вавилоне. Является ли Харрисон ключом к нахождению шкатулки или он может быть её судьбой?
Приквел-новелла к захватывающей трилогии Мэгги Шейн "Портал".
Once upon a time there lived three wonderful witches: Birdie, Colt, and Harper. They were the heroines of Amarah\'s childhood tales. But those tales were much more than just fiction. Because when she was a child in Babylon, Amarah had been an apprentice of Birdie and shared her Saturday afternoon treehouse lessons with Harper, and dour Colt had slung walking sticks for her and whipped her through her Latin lessons.
After a lifetime of thinking little of it, when circumstances compel her to return to Babylon, it becomes all the more clear that Amarah and the witches are very much one and the same. The journey to recover a treasured artifact dates back to the wizardly harem of ancient Babylon, where there was never anything as simple and straightforward as reading Egyptian hieroglyphics or watching a fleeting glimpse of King Nebuchadnezzar pass by in a collapsing old part of town.
Cracks begin to appear in the finely polished surfaces of Babylonian legend, and the woman within peeks out.
