The Stone and Shadow Chronicles, Book 1
She can outrun the past. But can she outplay the gods?
Ophira Naga is more than a top-tier security consultant—she’s Medusa, hiding in plain sight. When enigmatic businessman Marcus Templeson hires her to track down stolen relics, she expects a high-stakes job, not a collision with the past she’s spent centuries outrunning. The artifacts hum with power, whisper with history, and have drawn the attention of forces far more dangerous than smugglers—including the one goddess Ophira has sworn never to face again.
As betrayals mount and divine schemes tighten around her, Ophira must untangle the relics’ true purpose before she’s ensnared in a game she barely understands. From her high-tech security firm to a museum where secrets hide in plain sight, from shadowed crypts steeped in memory to opulent halls where power is a double-edged weapon, every step pulls her deeper into a world where myth and reality blur.
Caught between ancient grudges and modern threats, Ophira must outplay gods, outmaneuver enemies, and reckon with the truth she’s refused to face. Because some relics aren’t just artifacts. Some are warnings. And if she isn’t careful, she won’t just lose the job—she’ll lose herself.
The Stone and Shadow Chronicles, Book 2
The past isn’t finished with her. And neither are the gods.
Ophira Naga is done waiting for the past to catch up with her. With stolen relics vanishing into the black market and whispers of a divine war surfacing, she and Aric dive headfirst into the hunt. The deeper they go, the more the lines blur between predator and prey—because someone’s watching them. Tracking their every move.
What starts as a mission to recover stolen artifacts turns into a brutal game of survival. The relics aren’t just powerful—they’re bait, drawing out players far deadlier than smugglers. From underground networks dripping with secrets to the marble halls where power is traded like currency, Ophira fights to unravel the truth before she’s ensnared in it.
But something isn’t right. The echoes of an old betrayal still bleed into her instincts, making her question who she can trust—even Aric. Athena’s reach is growing, her influence rippling through every thread of this mystery. And the ghosts of Ophira’s past? They’re no longer content to whisper.
As the stakes rise and enemies close in, Ophira faces an impossible choice: keep running, or start fighting like the monster they already believe her to be.
Because some relics should never be found.
Some myths were never meant to wake.
And some betrayals don’t stay buried.
The Stone and Shadow Chronicles, Book 3
The gods made her a monster. Now, she’s their reckoning.
Ophira Naga has spent centuries surviving. Now, she has to lead.
Athena’s endgame is in motion, and the balance between gods and mortals is unraveling. To stand a chance, Ophira must forge a coalition of unlikely allies—warriors, mythic descendants, and those who fear her as much as they need her. But leadership is its own kind of battle, and doubt is a serpent that coils tighter with every step she takes.
As war looms, a face from her past returns, turning memory and reality into a deadly snare. A warrior thought long gone. A betrayal that still bleeds. And an enemy who knows that Ophira’s greatest weakness isn’t her power—it’s the part of her that still wants to be human.
From shadowed ruins to celestial battlegrounds, Ophira must wield every weapon at her disposal—her legend, her fury, and the one thing she swore never to trust again: love. Because the final battle isn’t just about survival.
It’s about what kind of monster she’s willing to become.
