SEEKING ATLANTIS
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
Magic of the Night is a dual POV adult romantasy/Phantom reimagining with NA crossover appeal and series potential. It blends the haunting romance of The Phantom of the Opera, the compelling magic of Beauty and the Beast, and the searing heat of A Court of Thorns and Roses.
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, the one 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, and 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.
