About this ebook

A treasure-hunting adventure with a sci-fi twist!

Some secrets are buried for a reason. She’s about to uncover the deadliest secret of all...

Anxious and reclusive, Cora Blackthorn uses online gaming as her sole tether to the outside world. Due to a condition that makes human touch crippling, she lives her life confined to a small island in the Puget Sound, never accompanying her mother on her tomb-raiding adventures. But when her mom sends home a cryptic SOS in the form of a mysterious package, Cora discovers the shocking truth behind her extraordinary affliction. Her condition isn’t an illness; it’s a gift not of this world.

Armed with a powerful, alien amulet and her mother’s journal, Cora heads to Rome on a desperate rescue mission. But on the way, she discovers that a secret society is hot on her trail, and she has no chance of outrunning them. Her only chance is to confront them head on. A clash within the twisty catacombs beneath Vatican City leaves Cora with a perilous choice: find her way through an ancient, deadly labyrinth and save her mom, or fail and die…

Ratings and reviews

this book ha e everything a science fiction fan will want, adventure, romance and the bending of reality that we all enjoy. happy reading!

I love the concept of this series. I read a lot of sci-fi books and this book has a unique storyline. Cora's character is well written and and I enjoyed watching her character grow from a homebody (which was out of her control, but I don't want to spoil anything) to a strong powerful woman. I just finished book 4 and I'm waiting for book 5 to be released.

Cora is a normal person, with wishes and dreams and wanting to do everyday things. But a mysterious illness keeps her bound indoors, where physical contact is limited. Any skin to skin contact causes incapacitating migraines, friendships and human comfort only causes pain. Her only escape is the online, virtual reality gaming world, where Cora has made some friends. But a letter from her mother is going to literally force her out of her comfort zone. She is going to need to face her fears and in her search for her missing mother, she might just find herself and a way of handling her migraines. A fast paced story that takes us to Rome and through a world of myths and legends. Make sure to read Sacrifice of the Sinners the prequel novella before this book (check out the author's website for a link)
