ANAROSE AND THE TEMPLAR'S QUEST
AnaRose and the Templar’s Quest” by Mary Ann Bernal is an action thriller that follows the adventures of a young museum curator and expert in antiquities, who has been requested by the European Institute for the Conservation of Antiquities to authenticate a long-lost historical ring believed to have belonged to Lord Balian of Ibelin.
The proposition lands AnaRose and her assistant Jo Hughes in France, where they are apprised of a legendary tale regarding an ancient dagger made by Lord Balian, whose whereabouts now seem traceable after a discovery is made regarding his already forgotten signet ring. The dagger is said to have a hidden compartment where he hid the Holy Nail, and interestingly, its hilt only springs open after pressing his signet ring’s imprint into the pommel. After a short briefing, AnaRose is ready to commence the investigation, but little does she know that more interested parties are watching her and that they will stop at nothing until they have taken possession of the artifact.
ANAROSE AND PHARAOH'S GOLD
“AnaRose and Pharaoh’s Gold” by Mary Ann Bernal is the anticipated sequel to the award-winning novella “AnaRose and the Templar’s Quest,” and part of the AnaRose Action and Adventure Novellas series.
​
In this latest action-packed thriller, AnaRose showcases her specialty and skills by saving further artifacts from the sly and cunning grasp of espionage, murder, and suspense.
​
With familiar and familial characters, AnaRose travels to Egypt with a joint purpose: to recover an ancient golden ushabti from the black market, and to keep it from members of a secret undercover religious sect. This troubling sect seeks to utilize it to bring life to the ancient Egyptian deity Apophis and his agenda of darkness, disorder, and chaos throughout the world.
Along the way, questions, answers, kidnappings, and potential human sacrifices are in store as AnaRose, Jo, and Adam watch their backs at every turn and face off against members of an international conspiracy.
ANAROSE AND MEDUSA'S CURSE
In the wake of a devastating fire, museum curator AnaRose Preston unveils the newly renovated annex and its crown jewel—a state-of-the-art planetarium. But her routine inspection is cut short when an urgent message from relic hunter Miles Bordel beckons her to Athens. Bordel, notorious for his unscrupulous methods, has unearthed Alexander the Great’s drinking cup, setting off a chain of events that could resurrect an ancient curse.
As Bordel navigates the treacherous waters of the Siwa Oasis and the ruins of Ammon, he crosses paths with Alekos Chloros, the cunning leader of a terrorist faction known as The Macedonians. Chloros seeks the Medusa amulet, a legendary artifact with the power to petrify those who dare gaze upon it.
​
With the discovery of Medusa relics by underwater archaeologists near Alonissos, the race to secure the amulet intensifies.
