Book excerpt: Long ago, there was a prophecy... Then the gods of Ancient Egypt withdrew to shadows and were forgotten. In modern-day Scotland, Freya Hayes tries to live up to the expectation of her Sage heritage. The Earth is no longer as it was - rather, ghosts populate it far and wide. Though benevolent for the most part, evil stirs their rank and causes trouble. Freya's duty? To protect the Earth, using her enhanced strength and spiritual abilities to fight back. From Scotland to Spain, Slovakia and the remote deserts of Egypt, Freya's journey will be one of personal growth - and never ending surprises. She'll be joined by a Wiseman, Brennan, who's not all he seems. Together, these two partners shoulder the weight of the world in the way only teenagers can - with grit, snark and a load of attitude. From evil Vikings, to ancient Conquistadors, to a certain Blood Countess, the dangers awaiting them beckon from the shadows. By far, their most perilous journey won't be fighting the unseen - but the gods themselves.
