"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 Blood Of The Beast by nsjsbsisham_ujjhwkao

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.

Behind Closed Doors by Brooklyngirl1026

I never thought my life would be like this; trapped in a dark room and scared for my life. A blindfold was wrapped around my head, covering my eyes, making me completely blind and on high alert. My breathing was ragged and I could smell the mold that was most likely covering most of the room. My hands were tied behind my back, my feet tied together and I was sitting on the floor, propped up against a wall. I heard a slight shuffling across the room that was coming closer to me. I tried my hardest to keep my breathing under control to seem confident and fearless, but in reality, I was shitting my pants and squealing like a scared little girl on the inside. To say I was terrified was a drastic understatement. I was petrified, shaking with fear, but they were not going to know that. "Who are you?!" I demanded. If I was going to die, it would be with the name of my kidnapper. A voice boomed closely to me, "Well, if I told you that, this wouldn't be any fun." **************** Skylar James, a 24 year old girl, is kidnapped by a very well known gang who has a vendetta against her family. In an attempt to find light in her situation, she makes friends with one of the members. Logan Grant was forced into the gang at the young age of 16. He was abused until he became emotionless and ruthless, so that one day, he could rule the gang. Everything was going smoothly until Skylar is brought in. With a blindfold wrapped around her head, he instantly feels bad for her, though he cannot show it. Afraid of getting caught, he shows no emotion while others are around. Though, behind closed doors is a whole other story.

Not once; not twice. But three times. As explicit meetings, of course. Each encounter so different they would seem worlds apart. Each phase bringing such a drastic change in him, I wondered whether it really was the boy I had met before. An enticing recounting of one of the most eventful things, since I had started. It's a small story, really. But don't trust me. Trusting me doesn't save you from reaching the end. Beware, I make promises I can not keep; it's my liability. And also, my strength.

My Life Of Evasion by writeon27

Passport? Check. Book of maps to every country in the world? Check. The world's best treasure hunting dad and the most incredible stepmom? Check. My amazing boyfriend of over a year and a half? Check! The same crazy guy who'd been chasing us on our last exploration and the group of other crazy people he's basically teamed up with? Ugh, check. And the newest member of our group, my baby sister Addy, who's going on her very first treasure hunt at the tender age of four months old? Oh, my gosh, check! Call me, Callie Landon, a complete fool and I'd have to totally agree. As to what type of fool, I'd let you know. I was a fool in love, a fool to do what we did every day, a fool to trust Agents Jenna Hudson and Chris Turner when they said that they had another treasure for us to find, one that's only known by the FBI and the government and hadn't gone public. And just what was that treasure? Well, we didn't know. And neither did they. It was apparently life changing, though, so I was guessing pretty big. Our group was going to be bigger on this exploration, that's for sure. And we were adding another, rather unexpected person: Sophie Barnes, who was Max's ex-girlfriend. This treasure hunt was going to be even more dangerous than our others. It was going to full of sneaking into government facilities in other countries, stealing priceless items that were supposed to be heavily guarded, car chases, near kidnappings...and enough dirty diapers to knock out a hundred men just with the smell. It was going to be one crazy adventure. But then again, it always was in the world of treasure hunting. (Book 3 in the My Life Series)
