Seeking Atlantis
What if Atlantis was real and proof lies hidden beneath one of the world’s most infamous monuments?
Archaeologist Katarina Hamilton believes the Atlantean Hall of Records is real. Located beneath Egypt’s Great Sphinx, the storehouse of knowledge and advanced technology could change history and mankind’s future. But since everyone thinks it’s a myth, she’ll do what any self-respecting professional would. Prove it.
The grandson of the dig’s benefactor, Eric Danbury, is an unwelcome “supervisor”. The last thing Kat needs is some jerk looking over her shoulder. He’s cocky, meddlesome and, perhaps worst of all, ridiculously handsome. Yet, when she and Eric accidentally touch, they share a vision of a past life twelve thousand years ago and a love that transcends time. The only problem: Kat’s heart belongs to another.
As if the dig isn’t complicated enough, Azrael, a group of radicals destroying ancient monuments, have their sights set on the Sphinx. In their hands, the technology inside the Hall could destroy humanity, leaving Kat to decide if the potential consequences are worth proving Atlantis was real or if it should remain a myth forever.
The novel stems from three facts:
1. In 1933 psychic Edgar Cayce said a Hall of Records rests below the left front paw of the Sphinx, containing artifacts and advanced technology from Atlantis.
2. In 1991 seismic surveys done at the Sphinx’s left front paw showed a 30x40-foot anomaly.
3. The Egyptian government has denied all attempts to excavate since the 1991 discovery.
Magic of the Night
Calise Dacourt carries all ten magics of Mythe—a unique power and increasingly difficult to control. If the Crown knew, they’d abuse her abilities to further their corrupt agendas. Her only choice is to escape before she’s discovered, wanting nothing more than a life away from Mythe and its unjust caste system and rising revolution. Yet she’s bound to sing for the new Royal Theater Company for the next five years if she wants to earn enough to flee. But when she meets Eury Lanier, the mysterious builder of the theater, discovering he too has all ten magics, he offers to train her to control them. This gives Calise something she’s never had before: the choice to determine her destiny.
Eury has a secret beyond his magics. He’s cursed. Born disfigured, he’s shunned by all who see his true face. Outwardly, he’s a monster. Inwardly, he’s a man who desires nothing but love. His soul calls to Calise’s, the woman he’s silently watched over from the shadows for years, bound by an oath, the one woman he knows can stop Mythe’s magics from dying. Only she is meant to overthrow the Crown and break his curse.
As Calise hones her abilities, she morphs into a force to be reckoned with. And, with Eury, experiences a magic unlike any other: a love neither is prepared for. Calise’s destiny is finally her own. She can either take hold of the life she’s always desired or use her power as a weapon to fuel the revolution and take down the Crown.
Adrift
There’s only one person Sera Kelly can depend on. Herself. From the time her mother abandoned her as a girl to the day her father died six months ago, it’s a universal truth that’s been hammered home. She has one dream: to become a nurse. Yet that dream depends solely on the money she’ll earn serving a millionaire family on their yacht. All she has to do is overcome her seasickness for a few measly weeks, but since she can barely keep a meal down, it’s easier said than done.
However, when the yacht sinks in a storm, only Sera and Maxen Walsh—the handsome heir to his father’s broken empire—make it to a raft. Set adrift, their battle to survive begins, forcing Sera to depend on someone else, someone who surprises her at every turn with his kindness, slowly melting the ice she’s erected around her heart.
After surviving two weeks at sea, they discover an uninhabited island. Armed with techniques passed down from her survivalist father and Maxen’s quick thinking, they work to stay alive, discovering a love she never thought possible. But as the ice around Sera’s heart shatters so does reality. When they find a hidden treasure trove with the newly re-discovered Irish Crown Jewels, they’re aware they aren’t the only ones who’ve recently been on the island. Whoever stole them will be back and their return could mean Sera and Max’s death or salvation. But salvation can sometimes come at the gravest of costs.
Fated
In life, Quinn Halden was a nephil: half angel/half human and a Civil War soldier. However, when he takes that life after his family is murdered, he's given a choice by God. Quinn can serve Him as an angel and one day be granted entrance into Heaven or wander lost in Purgatory. He becomes an Angel of Death. And. He. Hates. It. His greatest desire is to make up for the life he squandered but that's not a possibility—until he meets Alexandra. He has a vision. In it, it's the two of them, walking hand-in-hand, and . . . he's human.
Somehow, his fate rests in her hands and yet he's commanded never to interfere. But when Alexandra's dying, he defies God, getting his wings stripped and being banished to Earth in the process, neither alive nor dead, stuck between two realms.
Seventeen-year-old Alexandra (Lex) Hyatt’s life isn’t butterflies and rainbows. She’s getting through school, all while working at the local pizza joint to save enough for community college, on top of dealing with her alcoholic, drug-addict parents. Yet, unbeknownst to Lex, she’s a female nephil, one of the rarest creations in the universe. The moment her nephilimic abilities awaken, Lucifer will come for her. Nephilim are creatures of both worlds. It’s for this reason Lucifer believes Lex can give him what no other can: a creation of his own. If God can create, why shouldn’t he? And when Lex is saved by Quinn, awakening her abilities early, the homing beacon is activated and the race to elude Lucifer begins.
Quinn and Lex must discover a way to stop Lucifer, defying the rules of Heaven, Hell, and Earth to do so, all while battling the undeniable connection they share, one that may prove nephilim are not fateless creatures after all but ones with a profound destiny.
