Once the huntress, she is now the hunted.New Yorker Ruth Jessup and Amish-bred Joshua Stutzman live in different worlds. But their lives collide in catastrophic proportions as they battle wits against a psychopath and the New World Order. After Ruth wakes from one of her reoccurring nightmares, she prepares for the day's fox hunt, rides down a lonely stretch of road in Owenson, Michigan, and is suddenly immersed in her nightmare. Fleeing for her life and suffering from amnesia, she finds herself in an hourglass of yesteryear. No televisions, radios, cell phones, or computers, only buggies and lanterns, planting and canning. If not for Joshua, Ruth would be lost and homeless. An attraction blossoms, but the chaos of the biblical seven-year tribulation blankets the world. Can Joshua's Amish ways help them survive the next three-and-a half years? And without the mark of the beast, will they escape the executioner's axe?
