DA VINCI'S SECRET PALES. Michelangelo concealed an explosive truth in his famous Creation of Adam fresco in the Sistine Chapel. Eve did not cause the fall of man. She carried a far more devastating secret for millennia—one that will change the world forever.
As the modern-day world suffers the cataclysmic effects of the “Plagues of Egypt,” Avery Fitzgerald, a statuesque Astrophysics major at Stanford, discovers that she is mysteriously bound to five strangers by an extremely rare condition that foremost medical experts cannot explain. Thrust into extraordinary circumstances, they race against time to stay alive as they are pursued by an age-old adversary and the world around them collapses into annihilation. Under sacred oath, The Guardians—a far more archaic and enigmatic secret society than the Freemasons, Templars, and the Priory—protect Avery as she embarks on a daring quest that only legends of old have been on before. Avery must come to terms with the shocking realization that the blood of an ancient queen flows through her veins and that the fate of the world now rests on her shoulders.
The Thirteenth Guardian is Book One of a daring new Trilogy that will shake you to your core.
Excerpt:
Remi had always dreamed that
he would do meaningful work in his life. His parents repeatedly told him that
he had a great destiny ahead of him and that one day he would do amazing
things. Remi believed that perhaps one day he would become a senator or congressman
and would change the lives of millions of people. The fact that at twenty-one,
he was now in a room with the President of the United States, and his chief of
staff, working on a plan to keep the United States government functional, left
him with mixed feelings. It was awe inspiring on the one hand, but on the
other, the circumstances around which it was happening were terrifying.
As the men
conferred around an old coffee table, which had now become the platform on
which the future of the United States was being shaped, the door to the war
room burst open and a Marine rushed in with terror in his eyes. He doubled
over, choking, like something was stuck in his throat. Remi rushed to his aid.
“What now?”
the president barked. He was frustrated and at a loss after everything that had
happened over the last few hours. He had run out of patience, and his capacity
for sympathy was completely eroded.
“Mr.
President, you need to come up to the surface entrance. You need to do it now,”
the Marine said, gasping for air.
The
president knew enough about the Marines’ degree of professionalism that he did
not object.
Everyone
followed the Marine down the hall and hopped into the Humvee for the
three-minute ride up the steeply inclined roadway to the entrance of the
bunker.
“Maybe you
should slow down for a minute and catch your breath.”
“I am going
to be fine, Mr. President. I am able to breathe a lot better now, sir.”
“Sorry I was
curt earlier. It’s been a rough few days, and my nerves are a little frayed. I
should have been more compassionate.”
They stopped
at the head of the roadway, which was protected by a steel gate large enough
for a semi-truck. The Marine walked to the side and opened a smaller door that
led down a short hallway and to a steep set of stairs. The group of men climbed
up the stairs in silence and emerged at the top of the guard tower.
The
president was the first to step out of the stairwell and into the guard tower
opening. He let out a loud gasp. His chief of staff followed and let out an equally
loud expletive. As Remi stepped out of the stairwell, he had instinctively
braced himself for anything; yet still, what he saw shocked him to his core.
