The Sage Stone Prophecy
by N.S.
Wikarski
GENRE: Adventure,
Mystery
BLURB:
Where do you hide a
mysterious artifact that could change the course of history? You scatter clues
to its whereabouts across the entire planet. Five objects buried beneath the
rubble of lost civilizations point to the hiding place of the fabled Sage
Stone. A secret society and a fanatical religious cult vie against one another
in a global treasure hunt to claim the prize. The Arkana wants to preserve it
for posterity. The Blessed Nephilim wants to exploit it to create a terrifying
new world order. Only one faction can win. More importantly, only one can
survive.
Excerpt:
“Why don’t I stop you right there.”
Cassie placed a cautionary finger on Griffin’s lips. “Are you trying to tell me
you love me?”
“Yes, thank you!” He beamed with
obvious relief. “You’ve hit upon the very conversational precipice I was inching
towards.”
Cassie laughed. “That’s not news. I
care about you too.”
“You do?” He searched her face
eagerly.
“Absolutely.” She gave his hands a
reassuring squeeze. “Everybody at the Arkana matters to me—Faye and Maddie and
Zach and Hannah and maybe even Erik, a little. But you most of all.”
Griffin sighed. “No, love. You don’t
understand.”
She blinked at his choice of words.
“What I’m trying to say is that I’m
in—”
“Hey, stop dragging your feet!”
Maddie’s voice bellowed from the porch. “We’re all waiting for you!” She gave
the door several thumps with her fist for emphasis.
“On our way,” the Pythia called out.
Turning to Griffin, she said, “Hold onto that thought, whatever it is. We’ll
have plenty of time to talk when we get back home.”
“Right! Brilliant! All the time in the world
to get our relationship sorted out,” the Scrivener remarked bleakly as he
followed her to the waiting helicopter. “Assuming this isn’t our last day on
earth.”

Thanks for sharing the excerpt and for the giveaway :)
In answer to the question about what books I'm looking forward to reading...probably Dan Brown's next novel. Since it won't be out for awhile, I guess I'll have to keep writing in the meantime.
An interesting blurb.
