Cover Reveal:
The Crystal Curse
Book 4 - Legends of the Winged Scarab
(scheduled for publication in June)
Prologue
Deep beneath Hawara, a site near the Fayum Oasis, there sleeps an enormous complex known as The Lost Labyrinth of Egypt. While the mysterious
compound is said to have once been comprised of over three thousand rooms, the
origins of this ancient palace are shrouded in the mist of time. Some believe
its builders came from an ancient civilization and those ruins predate Egypt’s
earliest cultural awakening by several millennia.
Swirling on
the winds of the khamsin are the legends
about a mythical beast living deep within these tunnels. As the dunes shift
under the capricious updrafts, the remnants of a chamber might be laid bare
only to be reburied by yet another layer of sand.
A few even
tell of wondrous crystals growing within this complex, insisting that gold and
precious stones await those who brave the stifling maze. For a brief
moment, awestruck whispers turn into speculation. But thoughts of plunder are
quickly doused as the legends warn:
No one escapes the crushing coils
of El-Hanash, the Crystal Snake.
For such is The Crystal Curse.
