The Lingering (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Mac Sanderson has a unique gift - the ability to time travel simply by holding an artefact in his hand. When his father's archaeological team unearths the ruins of the Great Library of Alexandria in Egypt, Mac is drawn into a series of dark happenings over 2,000 years in the distant past, set in motion when he rescues the beautiful scribe girl, Aisha, from the historic fire that destroys the library. His heart and mind are stretched to breaking point as he yo-yos between the past and the present in a desperate attempt to change history, to sweep Aisha out from under the pharaoh's deranged hold, to keep his heart-breaking secret from her and to find a way to somehow bridge the millennia that separates them... and all while unwittingly fulfilling his forgotten destiny as Deliverer of the world's future. Will the discovery of an ancient portal between this world and the next finally allow them to be together forever? The Lingering is a gripping love story, spanning millennia and the shadowy Underworld. It combines powerful visuals with dark undertones to deliver a fresh twist on the ever-popular theme of time travel. Fast-paced and action-packed, it's an epic romance set against a rich blend of ancient history, mythology and magic. Think Indiana Jones meets Titanic big love, wedged between the pages of a dusty old history book, which ends in a strange version of 'happily ever after'...

Autor

After twenty-one years as a professional photographer, Dani Mathewson sold her studio to pursue her indie publishing career, with a focus on young adult fiction.

With a passion for reading and creating exciting YA fiction, her subject matter and target age range vary across a number of titles, some of which are still in the pipeline, but the one reliable constant is her commitment to action, pace and authentic characters.

In 2018, she made it onto Smashwords' 'Hot List' of authors to watch for three weeks in a row with the release of her action thriller, Powder. It debuted in the iTunes Charts Top 100 Books across all genres and remained there for eight months. Her latest release, The Lingering, is the first instalment in a proposed series of four YA fantasy books.

Described by her friends as a loveable weirdo, Dani calls inner city Brisbane, Australia, home. Her healthy appreciation for the unknown extends to controversial theories of human history, ancient civilisations, metaphysics and cryptozoology, not all of which are reflected in her work (yet...). When not fused to her laptop, her spare time is an imperfect balance of hiking in nature and Netflix on the couch.
