EBOOK
About
Victoria Barrón, an immigration attorney in El Paso, has built her life on facts, laws, and hard realities. Then a mysterious young woman named Khara is abandoned at her office, carrying impossible stories of ancient Egypt, fallen kingdoms, and a warrior sworn to protect her across time itself.
Khara claims she is no refugee. She is a princess displaced from the ancient past, sent forward in time to survive long enough to return and claim her throne before history is changed forever. When she reveals a golden cuff that allows her to speak any language, Victoria can no longer dismiss the impossible. But helping Khara return home comes at a price.
After selling priceless coronation bracelets to fund their journey back to Egypt, the women attract the attention of disgraced archaeologist Arlan Mieley, a man obsessed with restoring his reputation through the discovery of a lifetime. Convinced Khara's artifacts could rewrite history, he hunts them relentlessly across the American Southwest. As Victoria and Khara flee into the mountains of New Mexico, Khara begins to build a life she never expected, forming a deep bond with Oliver, a young Apache man whose stories of vanished civilizations, cursed mesas, and celestial mysteries may hold the key to her return. But time is running out. Borders close. Accusations mount. And an approaching eclipse over the legendary Urraca Mesa may open a doorway through time itself.
When the final confrontation comes, Victoria must decide how much she is willing to sacrifice for a friend who may belong to another age.
Blending ancient Egypt, modern borderlands, archaeology, myth, and time travel, Misplaced is a sweeping adventure about friendship, destiny, and the enduring power of history to shape the future.
