Book Synopsis

Introducing the Secret Society mystery series, and kick-ass red-headed heroine Sidney, a Black historian poised on the brink of discovering her true past . . . and her hidden witchy powers!

"Poignant and entertaining, this one is loaded with intrigue - a feast for anyone, like myself, who loves action, history, secrets and conspiracies. A stellar read" STEVE BERRY, New York Times bestselling author

Thirty-year-old Black woman Sidney Taylor is a talented early American historian, working in fast-paced Washington DC, with her eyes on promotion. She''s also currently persona non grata. Who knew that making an inconvenient historical discovery would see her stuck at her desk, shuffling paper?

So when she receives an anonymous and very cryptic invitation to visit historic small-town Robbinsville, North Carolina and hunt for a missing archaeological treasure - with a million-dollar pay out at stake - it''s one she can''t refuse. Besides, her beloved grandmother lives in Robbinsville, and it''s been too long since she''s paid her a visit.

Soon, Sidney''s on an exciting treasure hunt, following two-hundred-year-old clues that lead her ever closer to the artefact she''s searching for. But what is the artefact? And why is Sidney starting to feel like she''s at the heart of a terrifying conspiracy she doesn''t understand?

The answer blows Sidney''s world apart, plunging her into a dark, glittering world of secret societies, ancient bloodlines, witches and magic, linked to an ages-old conspiracy that could destroy the very principles upon which America was founded.

This delicious genre-blend of cozy thriller, contemporary fantasy and mystery is National Treasure meets the supernatural treasure hunts of Indiana Jones with a dash of A Discovery of Witches.
