Grace St. John is a scholar specializing in ancient manuscripts. She has recently started working on a new cache of old documents. One fateful evening, her computer was acting up, so she went next door to the teenage computer geek to get him to fix her computer. When she walks home, she notices her boss in her house with her husband and brother. She watches in horror as her boss shoots these two men in cold blood and waits in ambush for her. Not only that, he arranges the scene to make it look like she did it. She cannot imagine why he would do such a thing. She takes off on the run with both her boss and the police after her. She guesses that the papers she has with her are the key to the mystery. While on the run, she slowly unravels the mystery of the papers and understands what it is that her boss is trying to get - the treasure of the Templars. In order to stop him, she must travel back in time to 14th century Scotland so that she can take over the power of the treasure in order to protect it. This was mostly a thriller with a little romance thrown in on the side!
