Fire Opals & Family

My name is Delaney Stone: small-town pharmacist, certified pilot, and first-known genetic inheritor of supernatural pica. Hand-in-hoof with my emotional support pig, I travel the world tasting every mineral I can get my hands on, alchemizing their special essences into “parascientific” potions. Until recently, life was lonely but simple…

‍

And then along came Heath Spencer, Disrupter of Solitude and Disseminator of Chaos.

‍

Thanks to our recent discovery of ancient Hunnic treasure, we now find ourselves racing across Hungary to find Attila the Hun’s legendary golden tomb before a swarm of rival archaeologists gets there first. To make things exponentially worse, one of those rival archeologists happens to be Heath’s brilliant and beautiful ex-girlfriend, Julie.

‍

Suddenly, being the first to find Attila’s long-lost tomb is no longer a matter of pride; it’s a matter of proving my worth. Because if Julie finds it before I do, I’m convinced Heath will realize he made the wrong choice. With so much at stake, I’ve got no other option but to rely on my parascientific powers more than ever before, taking risks that threaten far more than mere bodily safety.

It’s funny; I used to hate wet socks more than anything. Now – between danger, heartbreak, and glamourous tomb-raiding exes – I can confidently say wet socks are the least of my problems.
