WAKING THE ANCIENTS

Legacy In Death Egypt, 1908 University student Lizzie Charters accompanies her mentor, Dr. Emeryk Quintillus, on the archeological dig to uncover Cleopatras tomb. Her presence is required for a ceremony conducted by the renowned professor to resurrect Cleopatras spirit-inside Lizzies body. Quintilluss success is short-lived, as the Queen of the Nile dies soon after inhabiting her host, leaving Lizzies soul adrift . . . Vienna, 2018 Paula Bancrofts husband just leased Villa Dürnstein, an estate once owned by Dr. Quintillus. Within the mansion are several paintings and numerous volumes dedicated to Cleopatra. But the archeologists interest in the Egyptian empress deviated from scholarly into supernatural, infusing the very foundations of his home with his dark fanaticism. And as inexplicable manifestations rattle Paulas senses, threatening her very sanity, she uncovers the link between the villa, Quintillus, and a woman named Lizzie Charters. And a ritual of dark magic that will consume her soul . . . _,
