A love lost in time. A cure buried in history. A mystery that spans millennia.

London, present day. Dr. Kate Mayne, a brilliant Assyriologist still recovering from heartbreak, devotes her life to uncovering the secrets of ancient Mesopotamia. 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, is faced with an impossible choice. The woman he has loved from afar since childhood, Bel-ibni, the king’s concubine, is dying from a poison no medicine or magic can cure. In a last, desperate act, Mannu turns to forbidden magic and sends himself through time in search of a remedy.

When Kate confirms Mannu’s identity through ancient texts only she can read, she is swept into a race against time, powerful enemies, and the limits of belief. As they search for the cure that could save Bel, Kate and Mannu discover a love that defies centuries and empires.

The Physician of Nineveh is a richly imagined novel that blends historical mystery, romance, and archaeological suspense. Perfect for readers of Outlander, The Red Tent, and The Time Traveler’s Wife, this is a story of devotion, sacrifice, and a love that endures across time.
