Book Description
A leap through time. A choice to make. A destiny to change.
Dismissed by her professors, ridiculed by her classmates, Serena
Metcalfe is determined to prove the existence of the Samu Aqaru, the powerful stone of the ancient pharaohs – even if
it means travelling through time. But her study of Egyptology did not prepare
her for the dangers and passions of the real
Egypt of 2361 BC. Crocodile attacks, kidnapping, betrayal, murder…and a pharaoh
who believes she is a goddess and wants her as his queen. But Serena isn’t
about to give herself to a king – not when finding the precious Stone could
mean saving the man she loves.
Irresistible playboy Shepseskaf, fated for an early death, and his loyal
yet ruthless cousin Pepisenkaura were once the closest of friends, but the
right to the throne of Egypt and their rivalry for Serena threaten to transform
them into bitter and eternal enemies. Only Serena knows the tragic destiny that
awaits, and only Serena can rewrite history…by following her heart.
My Review
Serena
time travels from New York 1977 A.D. to Egypt 3261 B.C., which is awesome. She
is on a journey looking for a magical stone that could change history. In the
interim of her adventure, Serena works with some spiritual guidance from
her mother and her own internal desires. She also becomes involved in an
interesting love triangle with two royal cousins, both vying for her love and
hand in marriage.
The
Scholar is a fantastic mix of adventure, mystery, and romance. Serena is a
wonderful main character with a unique beauty and a great set of values. I enjoyed how Serena stayed honest with both men, even when she
wasn’t dealt the same respect. Her thoughts about love are sweet and genuine.
