The Physician of Nineveh: A Time Travel Historical Fantasy of Ancient Mesopotamia, Forbidden Magic, and Love Across Time
Glenn Cooper
For fans of historical fantasy, archaeological thrillers, and sweeping time travel fiction, Glenn Cooper’s newest novel brings the ancient world vividly to life. The Physician of Nineveh blends the intrigue of an ancient Mesopotamian empire with the heart of a love story across centuries.
London, present day. Dr. Kate Mayne, a brilliant Assyriologist still recovering from heartbreak, devotes her life to uncovering the secrets of the ancient world. She never expects one of those secrets to walk into her life—claiming to be a royal physician from the long-lost city of Nineveh.
Assyria, 7th century BCE. Mannu-ki-Ashur, Chief Physician to King Ashurbanipal, faces an impossible choice. The woman he has loved since childhood is dying from a poison no medicine or forbidden magic can cure. In desperation, Mannu turns to an ancient ritual that sends him hurtling through time to modern-day London.
When Kate confirms Mannu’s identity through ancient texts only she can read, she is swept into a race against time, assassins from Nineveh, and the limits of belief. Together, Mannu and Kate must find a cure and confront a destiny that spans empires. Along the way, they discover a bond that might just be stronger than time itself.
