Series: The Artifact Guardians #1
Publication date: July 16th, 2019
Synopsis:
It's every archaeologist's dream to explore the hidden tombs of Egypt. Unfortunately for Leila Sterling, her dream turns into a nightmare when Xander Harrison, a childhood friend who betrayed her, joins the team.
She came to Egypt to study the ancient past, not to be confronted with her own. Besides Xander's questionable motives for joining the excavation, she's also convinced he's the one responsible for her father's death. But she can't prove it. And if she doesn't want to miss out on the excavation of a lifetime, she'll have to put her personal feelings aside and work with the annoyingly handsome Englishman.
But as they find clues to the whereabouts of an ancient tomb, secrets start to surface, revealing pieces of a deadly plot against them. Soon, she starts to realize she might have been wrong about Xander. The only way to discover the truth is if she gives up the very secrets her father died to protect.
If she doesn't... she might share her father's fate.
The Stolen Papyrus is a gripping mystery, full of suspense and adventure, plus a dash of romance. It would be enjoyed by fans of Elizabeth Peters, Indiana Jones, and The Mummy.
