BLURB:
“…we
only see what we want to see…what we expect to see…”
Discover
what’s hidden—a powerful, mythic race, an ancient Egyptian prophecy, and a love
strong enough to shatter the boundaries of time.
Alexandra
Larson isn’t human…but she doesn’t know that. As far as Lex is concerned, she’s
simply an ambitious and independent archaeology grad student with a knack for
deciphering ancient languages, especially the various forms of Egyptian. When
she’s recruited to work on her dream excavation, her translating skills uncover
the secret entrance to an underground Egyptian temple concealed within
Djeser-Djeseru—the famous mortuary temple of Queen Hatchepsut. Lex is beyond
thrilled by her discovery…as is the enigmatic and alluring excavation director,
Marcus Bahur.
As
the relationship between Lex and Marcus heats up, a series of shocking
revelations leave the young archaeologist reeling. Once Lex discovers the truth
of her ancient Egyptian roots—the truth of her more-than-human nature—the
people she trusts most make one final, terrifying revelation: Lex is the
central figure of a four-thousand-year-old prophecy. She is the only thing
standing between the power to alter the very fabric of time and an evil
megalomaniac…who also happens to be her father. As events set in motion over
four millennia ago lead Lex and Marcus from Seattle to the heart of Egypt, the
fate of mankind depends on one thing: the strength of Lex’s love.
EXCERPT:
“I thought you might like to see this,” Marcus said softly
as he set a flat, wooden box on top of the papers scattered on my desk. Through
the glass top, I could see an impeccable, hieroglyph-covered stone tablet.
“Marcus,” I said without taking my eyes from the object in
front of me. “Is this—”
“Yes.”
“But where’s the other one? You said there were two.” I was
leaning closer to the glass, trying to get a better look at the box’s contents.
“It’s unrelated to our present work.”
I barely heard his words, entranced as I was by the slab of
smooth, gray-green schist.
“Lex—”
“Can I open it?” I interrupted, eagerness evident in my
voice. I looked up at him, pleading with my eyes.
Marcus grinned and nodded.
“Oh. Wow.” With the glass lid removed, the artifact was even
more amazing. Shaped like a closed parabola, the dark stone tablet looked like
it could have been carved only a few days earlier. Every inch was untouched by
the usual rigors of time. “Where’d you say you found this?” I whispered.
“I didn’t,” Marcus said, avoiding the question.
I gently closed the glass lid and faced him. “Okay,
he-who-can’t-answer-an-implied-question, then where did you find it? And when?”
Across the room, one of the other men coughed in a way that
sounded suspiciously like an attempt to cover up a laugh.
The corner of Marcus’s mouth quirked, but I couldn’t tell if
he was hiding a smile or a frown.
AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Lindsey
Fairleigh lives her life with one foot in a book--as long as that book transports
her to a magical world or bends the rules of science. Her novels, from
post-apocalyptic to time travel and historical fantasy, always offer up a
hearty dose of unreality, along with plenty of adventure and romance. When
she's not working on her next novel, Lindsey spends her time reading and trying
out new recipes in the kitchen. She lives in the Napa Valley with her loving
husband and confused cats.
