THE ARKANA SERIES
College freshman Cassie Forsythe wakes from a disturbing nightmare after seeing her sister attacked by a man in a cowboy hat who demands something called "the key." Her dream morphs into frightening reality when her sister is found dead, exactly as her vision foretold.

Cassie's life takes an even more bizarre turn once she learns that her sister, an antique dealer, has discovered the location of a cache of mystical Minoan relics. A secret society called the Arkana and a fanatical religious cult known as the Blessed Nephilim each covet the dangerous prize.

Caught squarely between these rival factions is Cassie herself after she stumbles across the only known map to the treasure. The girl allies herself with the Arkana in hopes of staying alive. With Nephilim assassins on her trail, that's easier said than done.

Volume 2 - The Mountain Mother Cipher
In THE MOUNTAIN MOTHER CIPHER, the race is on between Arkana agents and Nephilim operatives as they rush off to Turkey in search of clues leading to legendary artifacts. Among ancient megaliths on the top of Mount Ida, the foes square off in a literal cliffhanger of a confrontation.

At the worst possible moment, the Arkana crew discovers that the Nephilim aren't their only competitors for lost treasure. Unforeseen obstacles and unknown enemies thwart their efforts to complete their mission and escape unharmed. This crisis teaches the newest member of the Arkana team where her real loyalties lie. Will all of them make it home alive? That's only one of the many secrets the Mountain Mother reveals.
