London, 1922. The world is dazzled by the opening of Tutankhamun's tomb, but for Elizabeth Cotton, the only headlines that matter are the ones she cannot read: the sudden loss of both her parents. Untethered in a city humming with jazz and revolution, Elizabeth clings to her only surviving relative-her brilliant, eccentric Uncle Tom-who sets her on a path that will change her life forever.
Drawn from the soot-stained streets of Bloomsbury to the blazing sun of Alexandria, Elizabeth undertakes not just a passage across continents but through the shadows of her own soul. Each night, she dreams the ancient Egyptian journey through the twelve perilous hours of the underworld, where serpents strike and rivers of fire blaze. Each day, her waking life mirrors the descent, forcing her to confront dangers, choices, and revelations that will either break her-or make her.
Rich with historical detail, pulsing with the fever of Egyptomania, and haunted by myth, The Journey is a sweeping novel of grief and rebirth. It is the story of a young woman who must cross the abyss to discover who she truly is-and what it means to be reborn.

The Star of The Nile
They say love is a curious thing-impossible to pre-dict and difficult to control. It can come in the form of a gentle breeze or like a storm, unannounced and over-whelming. Plato once believed that humans were originally cre-ated with four arms, four legs, and two faces. They were whole, complete-until Zeus, the god of thunder, split them in half as punishment for their pride. From that day, each person was destined to walk the Earth search-ing for their other half-their soulmate. And while many search their entire lives without suc-cess, sometimes fate works in strange ways. Sometimes, your soulmate may appear in the least expected place-like a royal garden in ancient Egypt.
