Atlantis is dying.

In the dead of night, a young priestess flees for her life through its deserted streets. The Shadow Chasers pursue her mercilessly. For she has stolen a sacred treasure from the Temple: one of the thirteen Skulls of Light.

She will give her life to protect it. She may have to. For the Shadow Chasers covet the Skull and in their lust, they will stop at nothing to possess it. If they catch her, they will kill her.

Thirty thousand years later, the legacy of the Shadow Chasers lives on. Their relentless pursuit of the Skulls is far from over. Their disciples wait in the shadows to strike.

Because the Skulls, asleep for millennia, are stirring, preparing to return to the world. Summoning new Guardians and new allies, for their enemies still skulk in the shadows.

This eternal battled between light and dark has landed on the doorstep of unsuspecting Gemma Mason. She has become a crucial cog in an ancient and dangerous conflict that she doesn’t understand.

Scared and out of her depth, Gemma is hurled into a world of ancient mysteries, unseen dangers and a destiny beyond her wildest dreams.

It is a destiny she never asked for. It’s a destiny she can’t escape…

Lost Legacy is the first book of the much-loved Skull Chronicles series. Myths and legends are no longer just a story in this sweeping fantasy saga that carries the reader from the frozen wastelands of the Arctic circle to the sun-scorched deserts of North America and beyond.

‘Absolutely enthralling’; ‘A must read’; ‘This book has it all’

Bound and helpless, the young handmaiden Manua is cast adrift in a stormy sea and left to drown. With her, sealed in a metal casket, is Maat-Su, the fourth of the sacred Skulls of Light.

But Manua is not destined to die today. Rescued by a descendant of those who brought the Skull to Earth lifetimes before, she and Maat-Su survive to change the course of history. For their new home is Atlantis, their legacy the mighty civilisation that has passed forever into legend and shaped the future of humankind for tens of thousands of years.

Meanwhile, here in the 21st century, it’s all suddenly got a bit too real. Stalkers, a break-in, three murders, and the appearance of an up-until-now purely hypothetical mystical golden key have blown the stakes sky high. And I’m scared.

Because someone else is looking for the Skulls. Someone who is prepared to kill to possess them.

And I could be next on their list…

‘Fast paced page turner’; ‘riveted to my seat’

On a desolate snowfield high in the icebound passes of a towering mountain range, the fugitive Guardian Mahleena clings helplessly to the rim of a bottomless crevasse. Her fingers are slipping on the frozen ground. She can’t hold on any longer. Death is coming for her.

Her only hope of survival is to abandon the sacred artefact she has carried half-way across the world – Khalia, one of the thirteen off-world Skulls of Light that once graced the Pyramid Temple in Atlantis. For the bag that holds the Skull is on Mahleena’s shoulder, dragging her towards oblivion.

But can Mahleena sacrifice Khalia to save her own life?

As for me? I’m on a rescue mission. My friend Callum’s life is in danger. He needs my help, but I don’t know where he is. I can only pray I’ll find him in time.

And, as usual, nothing is quite as it seems…

'Compelling'; 'Superbly and intricately plotted'; 'Suspense and intrigue'.

Calista, former Priestess of the Pyramid Temple in Atlantis. Guardian of Muu-Nan, sixth of the sacred off-world Skulls of Light. She will give up her life to protect it from those who covet its power for themselves - and she may have to do so.

Abandoned, lost and alone in an unknown land where danger stalks her at every step, an invisible force draws her ever onward to a destiny that will change Earth's future forever.

As for my destiny? After two attempts on my life, that has become a lot less certain. For the deadly Dark Forces that drove Calista from her homeland still hunt the Skulls today.

And now they're coming after me...

‘Fast-paced, gripping adventure’; ‘Couldn’t put it down’; ‘Awesome read’

Melia, Priestess of the Pyramid Temple in Atlantis, stumbles in despair through the high mountain ranges at the edge of the continent. She is alone, frightened, and pregnant, her exhausted body wracked by the agonising pains of labour. Hunted mercilessly by an enemy who will never give up.

For with her is the quartz crystal Skull A-Lar, one of the 13 sacred and powerful Skulls of Light that once graced the Temple with their wisdom and guidance. Those who pursue her will kill to possess it.

But A-Lar is safe, and today lies buried somewhere in the rolling green countryside of south west England, waiting for his new Guardian to find him.

How do I know? A-Lar told me...
