Would you risk everything and travel back in time to find the love you thought you'd lost forever?

Nathan leads a solitary life centering around his passion for antique watches. One day, he chances across an old photograph of Mia, his high school crush, who moved to Japan many years ago with her family, then died under suspicious circumstances. Or did she?

Not long after, Nathan receives text messages from someone named Mia. Are these a hoax or is she alive? He vows to find out, which leads him to Kyoto and a mysterious organization called the Taira Corporation who seem to know everything about him, and offer to transport Nathan into the past in search of Mia. But along the way he must fight off the rival Genji Corporation—who will stop at nothing to destroy Nathan and his friends.

Eternity in Kyoto is a fast-paced techno thriller set against the backdrop of ancient Japan that takes the reader on an exciting journey to 12th-century Kyoto. It weaves together a touching love story with profound revelations about the essential foundations of our shared humanity.
