An obsession beyond reason. A passion that transcends the grave...
#1 Wrath of the Ancients
1913. Storm clouds gather over Europe - and in a basement in Vienna, an unquiet spirit stirs...
Adeline always dreamed of visiting the Austrian capital, so the chance to work there seems like a dream come true. But, from the moment she sets foot in the elegant mansion that belonged to the late archeologist Dr. Emeryk Quintillus, she senses a presence-one so menacing and evil, she fears for her sanity and her life.
Strange noises from behind the walls, shadowy figures that cannot be there, hieroglyphics that appear on the wall, and an enigmatic portrait of a long dead Egyptian queen. Quintillus had made the discovery of the century-so why did he hide it?
Ancient enemies are at war in this mysterious house, and Adeline's fate is inextricably woven to theirs.
#2 Waking the Ancients
Quintillus is waiting. Arsinoe will have her revenge...
It should have been the assignment of a lifetime. Newly arrived in Vienna and living in a sumptuous mansion, Paula's only challenge appears to be learning the language. But Villa Dürnstein is a house of sinister secrets-most of them in the basement. There, the unquiet spirit of Dr. Emeryk Quintillus continues to search for the woman who will take on the essence of the long-dead Cleopatra. His obsession with her has reached fever-pitch.
Now he has found her.
#3 Damned by the Ancients
Dare to defy the gods and you will pay the price...
Vienna, 1908 - Quintillus, brings Gabriele Ziegler to the studio of Gustav Klimt. The artist will paint the troubled girl as Cleopatra, with whom Quintillus is infatuated, but the painting is cursed and the girl is possessed by the spirit of Cleopatra's long dead sister, the vengeful Arsinoe.
Now Arsinoe and Quintillus begin their unholy alliance
Vienna 2018 - nine-year-old Heidi Mortimer can see things others cannot. Her almost cat-like vision enables her to see the mysterious man in the basement. He asks for her help but her parents will not believe her. Yet in the basement, the long dead Quintillus is trapped, but not for long. He knows the little girl will help him.
Whatever the cost.
