Imagine being an ordinary Egyptian searching for a job, only to be uncontrollably flung through time! Ibn Shalabi, armed with his briefcase and Islamic-calendar watch, bounces between the Fatimid, Ayyubid, and Mamluk eras, even making detours to the 1990s. He finds himself caught in a rebellion in the 1300s, forced to play a dangerous game as a double agent between rebels and the ruling dynasty.
