“Your peers are taking you seriously now?”
“Indeed, the facts have been fully supported with peer reviews, back to the question at hand. You know things that have remained hidden for millennia. Who are you?”
“That too shall remain hidden for the time being.”
Their food arrived. The women ate quietly.
“Let’s discuss your upcoming lecture Tuesday. The subject is of great interest.”
“The Jewels of Mount Hermon?” Amara asked.
“The rubies, yes.”
Amara looked at Selene with raised eyebrows.
“Why do I feel like this is another subject you know more about than the rest of the world?”
Selene smiled slightly.
“Let’s just say I am well studied in obscure information. Why don’t you tell me what you think you know, then I can offer my two cents and correct the record.”
Amara’s mind was spinning. If Selene’s corrections were as accurate as they were previously, Amara was justified in being excited.
“The known story of Mount Hermon was so full of holes it could be Swiss cheese. You have the potential to fill in the blanks on a world-shaking scale.” Amara said.
Selene read the look in Amara’s eyes. “You, thus far, have been reluctant to put your name on such norm-changing revelations. I can’t blame you for that. Being the person responsible for shattering accepted religious dogma can be dangerous. Changing the status quo always pisses someone off. We can stop now if you’re uncomfortable.”
BLURB:
A completely new twist on Stoker's tale.
Nine Hundred years before Christ, God has cast his wife, Asherah, out of heaven and condemned her to roam the earth as the first vampire. Over the centuries, she created other vampires. There are also those that she left for dead but survived her attack without being completely turned into vampires. These survivors are called Cardinals. Scottish Countess Kellena Donnachaidh and Lady Suzette Allard, our protagonists, are among these cardinals. They are searching out Asherah for a final conflict.
Asherah has discovered a way back to heaven so she can exact her vengeance. Using the Amulet of Cassiel she can call the Flaming chariot of Israel to return to heaven Now, 3000 years later, there are groups working to destroy Asherah and the vampires. The Vatican and other groups, fearing their own destruction if she ascends, simply want to stop Asherah using the Amulet of Cassiel to re-enter heaven. The race to recover the Amulet is full of intrigue, betrayal.
