Some bonds can’t be broken by time. Or space. Or death. When Captain Julian Gaspar captures an enemy spacecraft, he takes aboard a sapphire-eyed stranger who captures his heart. The powerful attraction that draws Julian to the mysterious Ellis is instant, undeniable, and throws Julian’s well-ordered life into chaos. The heat they generate burns as brightly and naturally as the stars—until Ellis is stolen away by a merciless pirate who trades in lives. In a heartbeat, Ellis is gone, leaving Julian broken and haunted by his last, angry words to his lover. After five years of searching, Julian is finally reunited with Ellis, only to find him dying, imprisoned by a strange, ring-bound enchantment that is slowly draining his soul. Removing the ring will mean his immediate death unless Julian can find a source of powerful, ancient magic. Older than the stars. Older than time… Warning: Contains spaceships, explosions, spiteful aliens, not-so-spiteful aliens, sarcastic alien yentas, the occasional naughty word and plenty of steamy man sex. Views: 44
(Theodosia #1)
SUMMARY:
Theodosia Throckmorton has her hands full at the Museum of Legends and Antiquities in London. Her father may be head curator, but it is Theo—and only Theo—who is able to see all the black magic and ancient curses that still cling to the artifacts in the museum. When Theo’s mother returns from her latest archaeological dig bearing the Heart of Egypt—a legendary amulet belonging to an ancient tomb—Theo learns that it comes inscribed with a curse so black and vile that it threatens to crumble the British Empire from within and start a war too terrible to imagine. Intent on returning the malevolent artifact to its rightful place, Theo devises a daring plan to put things right. But even with the help of her younger brother, a wily street urchin, and the secret society known as the Brotherhood of the Chosen Keepers, it won’t be easy . . . she quickly finds herself pursued down dark alleys, across an ocean, through the bustling crowds of Cairo, and straight into the heart of an ancient mystery. Theo will have to call upon everything she’s ever learned in order to prevent the rising chaos from destroying her country—and herself! Views: 44
