that will change the world forever.
As the modern-day world suffers the cataclysmic effects of the “Plagues of Egypt,”
Avery Fitzgerald, a statuesque Astrophysics major at Stanford, discovers that
she is mysteriously bound to five strangers by an extremely rare condition that
foremost medical experts cannot explain. Thrust into extraordinary
circumstances, they race against time to stay alive as they are pursued by an
age-old adversary and the world around them collapses into annihilation.

Under sacred oath, The Guardians—a far more archaic and enigmatic secret society than
the Freemasons, Templars, and the Priory—protect Avery as she embarks on a
daring quest that only legends of old have been on before. Avery must come to
terms with the shocking realization that the blood of an ancient queen flows
through her veins and that the fate of the world now rests on her shoulders.

Excerpt
One of the larger pods immediately adjoining the foyer
served as Florianne’s study but was also set up like a reading room in a
library. Several leather club chairs were positioned in the center of the room,
and the walls were lined with shelves replete with papyrus scrolls, codices,
ancient manuscripts, religious texts, important documents, and books from
around the world. Some of the scrolls and manuscripts were from eons gone by,
but there were also copies of all the holy books from current major
religions—the Bible, Torah, Talmud, Quran, the Vedas, the Upanishads, The
Agamas, Kojiki, and more. This amount of ancient history and medieval texts had
not been under one roof, at the same time, since the Royal Library of
Alexandria in the third century BC.
The shelves also had two copies of all the important
books of modern times: The Republic by Plato, The Communist Manifesto, The
Prince by Machiavelli, The Wealth of Nations, The Meaning of Relativity, On the
Origin of Species, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, Moby Dick,
Arabian Nights, Things Fall Apart, and much more.
After they had eaten to their fill, the group moved to
Florianne’s library. As they settled into the comfortable leather furniture,
Toni asked, “So where is our gracious host? I have been looking forward to
meeting Florianne. Without everything she did, we would all be dead. Without
her, all our families would be dead. I am eternally grateful to her for
everything she has done for us. I want to let her know how thankful I am.”
Eli stared at the floor then looked back up to his new
friends, who sat in a semi-circle, facing him. “I have a lot I need to tell
you.”
Eli described his trip to get to Innsbruck and how
close he was to never finding Florianne. He told them about the Vespa ride up
the mountainside and his companion, Urich. He told them about finally finding
Florianne’s estate and spending the last two days, as the deadly winds raged
above ground, getting the full history of Florianne, her family, the Guardians,
and their secret organization.
He described how intense Florianne was: her gaze never
wavering from Eli’s eyes, her voice appearing to grow instantly stronger and
more deliberate.
“It felt like it was more than just Florianne talking.
It felt like, in her voice, hundreds of men and women from across the ages were
speaking directly to me. It was the most incredible experience.”
In the soft glow of the generator-powered light bulbs
that lit the bunker, as Avery, Remi and Toni looked on, Eli begun to tell the
most important story they would ever hear.
