Beneath the Sands

Unearthing the lost Queen is easy; keeping her legacy is a battle for survival.

  • Literary Fiction

Dr. Arianna Jefferson has spent a lifetime listening to the whispers of the Egyptian desert, searching for the one queen history tried to forget. As a Black woman in an academic field built on exclusion, Arianna is used to working twice as hard for half the recognition. But when she discovers the undisturbed tomb of Nefertiti, she isn't just making history—she’s disrupting it. The world erupts in a frenzy of flashbulbs and fame, but beneath the surface, the jackals are circling. Her former mentor and a ruthless corporate executive move to seize the find, using legal warfare and character assassination to erase Arianna from her own achievement. In the high-stakes world of international archaeology, the truth is a commodity to be bought and sold. From the sun-scorched Valley of the Queens to the cold marble halls of power, Arianna must navigate a web of betrayal. As her relationships fray and her safety is threatened, she is forced to decide: How much is she willing to sacrifice to protect the dignity of the dead? Beneath the Sands is a powerful exploration of identity, institutional greed, and one woman's refusal to be buried by the very history she uncovered.

Eleven-year-old twins Quay and Quincy, along with their sister Taryn, expected a quiet summer in the mountains with their cousin Emma. But deep within the woods of Dutchess County lies a secret that has been waiting over a century to be told. When the children discover an abandoned mansion and claim it as their summer playhouse, they quickly realize they aren't alone. Behind a hidden kitchen wall lies a room frozen in time—the bedroom of a girl named Lucy Pendleton, whose ghost is still trapped within its walls. As Quay encounters the spirit of Lucy’s mother in the surrounding forest, a heartbreaking mystery begins to unfold. With hidden gold nuggets tucked inside antique toys and secret passageways leading to a past as a stop on the Underground Railroad, the house is more than just a ruin—it’s a piece of history. But the Montgomery family is closing in, determined to demolish the house and bury its secrets forever. With only weeks before the bulldozers arrive, the cousins must solve a series of riddles, find the missing deed, and reunite a family separated by tragedy. Can they protect the Pendleton legacy before the wood is leveled, or will the truth stay buried under the dust of progress?
