"James Rollins and Matthew Reilly have a serious rival!"

"A cross between Indiana Jones, James Bond, Lethal Weapon and a Die Hard film script all in one."

THE ULTIMATE ADVENTURE BEGINS - dive into an edge-of-your-seat joyride through ancient ruins, deadly booby-traps and dastardly villains in an explosive, action-packed archaeological thriller perfect for fans of Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider and Uncharted, Andy McDermott, James Rollins and Clive Cussler.

THE XIBALBA PROPHECY
Book 1 of 5

On an expedition inside one of Venezuela's famous table mountains, disgraced archaeologist Benjamin King makes a startling discovery.

Sealed for millennia within the mountain's dark heart lies a macabre temple of skulls and a deadly relic he has hunted for years.

Could it be linked to the ancient African legend of the Moon Mask and its fabled power to show its wearer the future?

When news of the discovery reverberates around the world, it soon becomes apparent that there are those who will kill to protect the Moon Mask's secret . . . and those who will do far worse to control it.

As spies and assassins, tomb raiders and relic hunters prepare to descend on the mountain, King is thrust into a global conspiracy and the beginnings of an ancient prophecy that could spell doom for humankind . . .


"Think of Harrison Ford, Robert Langley, Angelina Joly, Flash Gordon, and all the Boys Own Papers rolled into one, and you get some idea of this rip-roaring tale of adventure."

"Great for anyone who likes the Clive Cussler or Matthew Reilly genre of adventure books."

"It brings many current and alternative ideas from archaeology and ethnography and spices it up with some political shenanigans. I loved it!"

"A cracking fast-paced epic thriller in the vein of Matthew Reilly, James Rollins and Andy McDermott, and one of the best debuts of this genre I have read."

The SunDowners In | The Dagger and the Rose by WendyyWolfe

Action Adventure Series • Book 4 Every relic is a doorway. Every shadow hides a name. And every Sunbound heart must learn the price of carrying legends too long. From the desert's whispers to the catacombs' bells, the story does not end, it deepens. The Tiger led them to the Dagger, and the Rose waits with thorns still wet with blood." 🌹 When something evil and ancient plunders the tomb of Sainte-Rosamonde, a convent where shadows once moved like assassins, the Sunbound are pulled into a legend older than they can fathom. The artifact is no mere treasure- it is the key to binding or unleashing a power buried in blood and silence. For Callahan, it is more than a mission. It is a vow. Once, in a hidden cloister of France, a woman named Rosamonde Ducos; nun, resistance fighter, assassin, saint, called him The Dagger. He called her The Rose. Before her death, she bound him to a promise: to guard the relic with his life. Now her ghost cries out to him, and he knows what it means-her trust has been betrayed, and her sorrow is not at rest. 🌹 But as the Sunbound race time itself across catacombs and castles, they discover something more chilling: The relic is not just tied to Rosamonde. It is knotted into the very curse that took Tatyana, the woman Callahan lost to his own stubborn silence. And if they cannot recover it, both women's ghosts- and Callahan himself- may be consumed. Together, Kaida, Noey, Atlas, and Valli must face the labyrinth of Callahan's past, where assassins wore habits, where lovers became legends, and where shadows still hunger for flesh. Because the relic is not only a prize. It is a mirror. And when the Sunbound look into it, they will see the truth: This time, the fight is not to save a relic. It is to save him. It was beautiful. It was damning. It was his. 🌹 The Dagger and the Rose.

Cover by: @wild_and_deadly Character banners by: @Alphagurl24 Incomplete. "Dressed in bronze chainmail armour like a snake's skin, a heavy silver, poison dipped arrow in his hand, a bow on the other, and face blocked off by his helmet, the knight stood his ground on top of the mountain's cliff as the dragon swooped down at him. On and on they went, shooting arrows and fire at each other, until the man was down to his last arrow. The evil, obsidian beast and its radiant blue flames had taken everything from him. And now he would do the same. But as he placed his last arrow on his bow, the dragon came down at him with his sharp, charcoal black talons and slashed at the knight. The beast tore through his armour and body, pushing him back with the powerful beating if his wings. As the young knight tumbled downhill, a strange beauty came running into the clearing at the bottom of the beast's layer. His helmet slipped off his head and revealed a bloody, bruised face. A familiar face. And it was only then, I realized the knight was me, and woke up with gasp." --- Find out what happens in Alex Beck's story, The Blood of the Beast.

"Indiana Jones: The Cyber Horizon" A Cyberpunk 2077 x Indiana Jones Crossover by Chris9417

In 1937, between the perilous adventures that made him a legend, Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones sets out for Egypt to uncover a rumored artifact called the Cosmic Eye-a relic whispered to hold power over space and time itself. When a dig beneath the sands of the Sahara takes a disastrous turn, the artifact tears open the fabric of reality, hurling Indy across time and space into the neon-drenched chaos of Night City in the year 2077. There, amid a world of chrome, corruption, and corporate tyranny, he crosses paths with Rogue Amendiares, the sharp-witted and battle-hardened Queen of the Afterlife. Caught between eras, Indy must adapt his old-world courage to a future ruled by machines and money while learning that the most dangerous treasures aren't ancient-they're alive, armed, and wear red lipstick. As Arasaka and Militech hunt him for the Eye's mysterious power, Indy and Rogue are drawn together by shared defiance, mutual fire, and a fate neither can control. Torn between returning to his own time and staying beside the woman who makes this broken world feel alive, Indiana Jones faces his most human adventure yet-where love, time, and destiny collide in the shadows of the future. ⸻ Content Warning: This story contains mature themes, including violence, strong language, sensual and implied sexual content, and elements of psychological and emotional intensity. It explores romance and intimacy in a gritty cyberpunk setting while maintaining the adventurous tone and moral core of an Indiana Jones tale. Reader discretion is advised.

The Los Angeles Lighthouse | ✔ by Noah_Glass

Mason Marks is a screw up. Every day is a struggle to cough up enough money for rent, to ignore the reek of despair flooding the streets, to stop himself from slipping further into the shadows and slums of Downtown L.A. And he is sick of it. When he's kidnapped by a creature seemingly taken straight out of folklore, his world is flipped upside down--quite literally. There, he is rescued by two strangers who are part of an organization tasked with keeping the peace between the two words: Earth and the land of folklore, Somnium. Though Mason stumbles to find his footing in a world where fantasy and reality walk side by side, he is nothing but determined. Mason has no choice but to fight for both worlds. To fight against the oppressors, those who claim to be on his side, his doubts, and his own inner darkness. *** from readers: "With it's wonderfully diverse and interesting cast of characters, The Los Angeles Lighthouse will take you on a little adventure into a world of pure fantasy and some emotional rollercoasters.
