I am proud to announce that
Book 2 in The Chronicles of the Stone is now available on Amazon. The Search
for the Stone of Excalibur grew from Book One, The Secret of the Sacred Scarab.
I am a huge King Arthur fan and having travelled all over Scotland, visiting
castles, I decided that Britain would be the location of the boys’ quest for
the Second Stone of Power. The legends and stories about King Arthur and
Excalibur are the perfect vehicle for this book. There is so much magic and
mystery surrounding this historical figure that I had enough material to craft
a fascinating adventure. If you love history, geography, action, adventure,
archaeology and a story that grips you from page one (plus lots of danger!)
then this is the book for you. This will also appeal to anyone who wants to
save the world or (for those readers a little older) remembers their plans to
do so!
Book Synopsis: Continuing
the adventure that began in Egypt a few months prior in The Secret of the
Sacred Scarab, cousins Adam and Justin Sinclair are hot on the trail of the
second Stone of Power, one of seven ancient stones lost centuries ago. This
stone might be embedded in the hilt of a newly discovered sword that
archaeologists believe belonged to King Arthur: Excalibur. What gave Excalibur its incredible powers, so great that
even historians have recorded its singular abilities? Could it be that a Stone
of Power is embedded in the hilt?
However, their long-standing enemy, Dr. Khalid, is following them as their travels take them from Oxford, England, to Scotland, where the location of the quest is in an old castle, a ruined chapel, and with a few ghosts thrown in as well. Little do they know there is another deadly force, the Eaters of Poison, who have their own mission to complete. Who are these enigmatic and scary Eaters of Poison, driven by an ancient purpose? What is their connection to the castle's past and James’ ancestor, Bedwyr the Curious Monk, whose research into history started all the trouble? Time is running out as the confluence of the planets draws closer. Can Justin and Adam find the second Stone of Power and survive? And why did Aunt Isabel send a girl with them?
Join Justin and Adam as they search not only for the second Stone of Power, but also for the Scroll of the Ancients, a mysterious document that holds important clues to the Seven Stones of Power. Right from the start, this adventure is not like the first. As their new adventure unfolds, they learn many things and face dangers that make even their perils in Egypt look tame. And how annoying for them that their tag-along companion, Kim, seems to have such good ideas when they are stumped.
