Book One – MISPLACED

What if the opportunity to rewrite history was standing right in front of you?

In 2181 BC, Khara, daughter of Pepy II, stands on the brink of becoming Egypt’s first woman pharaoh—until betrayal shatters her world, forcing her into exile through time itself. Cast into the vast deserts between the U.S. and Mexico, Khara believes she’s fallen into the underworld—until she meets Victoria Barrón, a modern-day attorney with a guarded heart and an unflagging sense of purpose.

Their quest take them through cursed lands, forgotten legends, and the shadowy edges of history—testing the strength of friendship, the weight of destiny, and the cost of sacrifice. As an eclipse opens a portal back to Khara’s time, the questions lingers: Can the past be saved with losing the future?
