“

From the moment I opened the book, I was captivated. The writer weaves fact, fiction, science, and the supernatural skillfully into a tale of intrigue and mystery. The characters are engaging. The history is compelling-from the ancient megalithic structures of Italy to the younger, more contemporary shores of America. All in all, I find myself eagerly awaiting the next book in the series.

The author, Melissa Saulnier, drops you into Kaira Munroe’s jolting new reality, where she’s forced into a journey that pushes all boundaries of discovery and belief. This author wraps mystery, intrigue, and in-depth history, around an epic gift given from a grandmother to a granddaughter. Impressive is the amount of knowledge needed to tell Kaira’s story! I’m simply blown away, and I so look forward to Melissa’s next book!
