Egypt November 7th, 1828
For Kalaan Phoebus, the count of Croz, a surprise encounter with Jean-François Champollion on the outskirts of the ancient Egyptian city of Tell el-Amarna was providence knocking at his door. Champollion, an eminent scholar, was the only person capable of deciphering the hieroglyphs on the wall at entrance of the mysterious edifice that the young nobleman had just discovered. But was it really providence? For, on entering the unusual structure, the count is struck by a curse. From that moment on, he has only one way to counter the vile punishment of the ancient gods; and that is return to his home in Brittany to seek the guardian of the stones.

Vigilis
Ten years after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, Rome awakens to a new threat - Christianity. When whispers of this strange and growing faith reach the capital, the Emperor appoints Marc Procus, a celebrated Vigilis and master investigator, to uncover its secrets and silence its leaders. Torn from his work on the cold case of Julius Caesar's assassination, Procus is ordered to trace the followers of this Christian movement across the empire - and interrogate anyone connected to it, including Pontius Pilate, the disgraced former governor of Judea. His mission leads him on a perilous journey across Mare Nostrum - Our Sea - from the alleys of Rome to the islands of Greece, the ports of Asia Minor, and finally, the turbulent streets of Jerusalem. On Crete, Procus meets his first Christian family and is shaken by their humble faith. In Tarsus, his confrontation with Pilate forces him to question everything he believes about justice, loyalty, and Rome itself. As the empire teeters on the brink of rebellion, Marc's growing sympathy for the Christians marks him as a traitor. Back in Rome, political conspiracies erupt, and his wife and children become pawns in a deadly game of power. Now, as time runs out, Procus must choose between the empire he swore to serve and the faith that has captured his soul. Can he reach Rome in time to save his family - and himself? From the author of The Scribe, Paddy, Land of Our Father, Darerca, and The Soaring Spirit comes a sweeping tale of faith, loyalty, and redemption set against the might and madness of imperial Rome.Complete

A Pirate's Tale [COMPLETED]
Wattys shortlist 2021 "I'm already loving this story" - _singforjoy_ "You are going to get me what I want," Isla said, calmly. "Or I will kill you." The words hung in the air between them. Raif looked unconcerned. "Is that so?" he said. Born to the captain of a pirate ship, Isla has spent her whole life at sea. Raised among sailors, her father has trained her to fight, command a crew, and, most importantly, the secrets of the ocean currents. When her father is killed in a storm, she is forced to step into his role as captain. Not only does she have to provide for the men on her ship, but she also inherits her father's outstanding debt to Lord Sutherland: the task of stealing the rare Serpent's Eye emerald. After months of failure to locate the emerald, Isla is forced to take extreme measures: she kidnaps Duke Raif Sayers, who knows of the emerald's location. But Raif proves to be more strong willed and stubborn than Isla expected. Matters become even more complicated when Raif's father offers a large reward for his son's rescue and suddenly every cutthroat is looking for Raif and the pirate who kidnapped him. As Isla and her crew are pushed to their limits and race against their deadline, Isla has to face that the one decision she thought would save her crew could be the very thing that destroys them.

DARKLIGHT
Siderion is mere minutes away from becoming a member of the Order and earning his first rank stripe when Serkha City is attacked and his life is changed forever. Thrown away from everything he holds dear, he must scramble for answers as his moral ground shifts under his feet. In a world full of mages and monsters, nothing is safe. - - - - - - - - There were lots of other mages gathered in the plaza, addressing the arkaetres they had ridden with curt nods or short dialogue. The doors to the building were big enough for even the largest dragon to enter, but still only a small imperfection in the huge structure. I knew the door was the size of a dragon because I could see one to compare it to, flying above the dome. Then I realized that the dragon was black. "Dad? Look up there." He looked up and cocked his head in confusion. "I've never seen anything like that before." The beast was quite high in the sky and didn't look particularly threatening, but it still spooked me to see an arkaetre that wasn't white. After watching the shadowy dragon for a few more moments, my dad said slowly, "It seems like they have no rider. We should probably tell the Council about this." I nodded and followed him inside the dome. "But what about the opening ceremony?" I asked nervously, looking down at my watch. "We've got some time." - - - - - - - - Remember to comment and vote for the chapters you enjoy! Any and all feedback is appreciated.
