The Queen of Babylon tells the story of Harold Jones, a reclusive programmer who uses a temporal device to travel to ancient Babylon. There, he encounters Queen Ragata, trapped in a loveless political marriage to King Utanballe. To gain access to the palace, Harold poses as an envoy from the northern Geats, entertaining the king with invented tales of Viking-like warriors while secretly developing a deep connection with the queen.
When their relationship is discovered, they flee Babylon together. They find refuge in Sippar-Amnanum, a riverside town where they build a new life - Harold as an inventor and Ragata as a respected healer. When their growing reputation threatens their safety, they escape to a mountain settlement, eventually finding a hidden cave that becomes their true home. For nearly a year, they live in peaceful happiness, with Ragata practicing her healing arts and Harold using his knowledge to help the local mining community.
Their peace is shattered when King Utanballe, who has obsessively searched for them, suddenly appears near their cave. During their escape attempt, Ragata is struck by an arrow. She dies in Harold's arms in their cave home, speaking final words about freedom and the mountain herbs they had gathered that morning.
Harold returns to his own time, devastated by the loss. Only his friend Carl knows the truth of his story. In honor of Ragata's memory, Harold transforms his life, creating a healing garden and quietly helping others with herbal remedies, just as Ragata had done. While maintaining his outward appearance as a reclusive programmer, he finds purpose in preserving and sharing Ragata's healing wisdom, bridging the centuries that separate them.
The story explores themes of freedom, authentic living, and how love can transform even the most isolated soul.
