THE TROVE CHRONICLES
A Series for Fans of Archaeology Adventure, Alternative History Thrillers, and Treasure Hunt Mysteries

A myth-busting adventure series pitting patriarchy against buried history in artifact hunts that span continents, centuries, and lost civilizations. Meet the Arkana: a secret society of antiquarians devoted to unearthing the buried past of humanity. Continent by continent and dig site by dig site, they have amassed troves of evidence that overturn history as we know it. Follow their ongoing adventures in The Trove Chronicles.

Volume 1 - LUCIFER’S TRIANGLE
Arkana agents Cassie and Griffin are sent to Jordan for a standard retrieval mission. What could go wrong? When a colleague’s nephew is murdered, the teen’s death leads to a suicide bomb plot and a conspiracy that could plunge the Middle East into war for decades to come. The entire Arkana team springs into action to counter a threat unlike anything they’ve ever faced before. That’s because they’ll have to square off against a villain as devious as the devil himself, who wants nothing more than to see Jerusalem go up in flames.

Excerpt:

Lupe De Los Santos put out a hand, almost by reflex, and shut off the alarm before it sounded. When she squinted at the readout, it was five minutes before the time she’d set. She yawned and rubbed her eyes, trying to remember what day it was. As consciousness returned, she felt a thrill of anticipation. It was that day. Her final day. She became aware of a flood of turbulent emotions. The first to emerge was her terror that something might go wrong before she could fulfill her destiny. She reminded herself that every step had been explained to her by Father Bianchi in advance. Her movements that day had all been carefully choreographed, almost like an intricate dance. It was a piece of performance art that would culminate in a dazzling finale.

At the same time as she considered all the pitfalls ahead of her, Lupe also felt a strong sense of exultation. Her dearest wish was about to be realized. An end to all suffering. The return of the savior to earth. Her actions today would provoke the final battle between the forces of good and evil. Armageddon had come at last, and the prophecies of Revelation would all be fulfilled. The world had waited millennia for its deliverance. Lupe could scarcely believe that she was to be the harbinger of this great change. She murmured a humble prayer of thanksgiving that God had chosen her from among all the faithful to be his instrument in this holy endeavor.

My Review:

When I started reading Lucifer's Triangle I wasn’t sure what to expect after reading the summary but what I found between its pages was very interesting and sometimes sad.

Lucifer's Triangle covers a lot of subjects like religion and murder plus so much more. Lucifer's Triangle is filled with mystery and suspense from beginning to end. Once you pick it up you will be just as hooked as I was maybe even more so.

Lucifer's Triangle has some pretty interesting and likable characters. You feel as if you know them and that you are a part of their journey. You feel as if you are right there with them as they try and stop a war from happening. Yeah, what a scary thought. The descriptions are so vividly written you feel as if you are a part of their world. I had no trouble picturing it all in my head as if I was right there.

If you like murder mysteries then I do believe that you will like Lucifer's Triangle! Grab your copy of Lucifer's Triangle today!
