Paris, 1889. Eleanor Folley and Virgil Mallory return in this standalone steampunk adventure, set after the events in Rings of Anubis. A bungled museum theft. An ancient Egyptian riddle. The rumor of strange creatures moving beneath the streets of Paris. Eleanor Folley knew she was in for a challenge when she accepted the task of cataloging Mistral’s archive of purloined artifacts, but she never expected to discover an Egyptian mystery buried in the heart of Paris. When Anubis and Horus task her with a quest, she cannot refuse the ancient gods, even if it means venturing into the cathedrals of bones that clutter the catacombs of Paris.

The Honey Mummy

2016

A mummy bound in honey. An auction of archaic wonders. An immortal link to the past. Beneath the streets of Alexandria, Agent Cleo Barclay stumbled into a catacomb that changed her life. Her arms were taken, transfigured, and something remarkable was revealed—something that will stir an ancient life from the ashes of history. A serpentine sarcophagus holds clues to Cleo's past and future. She enlists Eleanor Folley and Virgil Mallory to collect the artifact at auction, to unravel its mysteries and her own. When the sarcophagus falls into the hands of an enigmatic Egyptologist, they find themselves participants in his diabolical pursuits. Drawn to Alexandria by their friend—and the temptations of a newly discovered ring—Folley and Mallory will be challenged as never before.

The Clockwork Tomb

2017

A river at the bottom of the world. A tomb filled with death and peril. A journey through hell itself. At the turning of the year, Yule presents Virgil Mallory with the opportunity to gift Eleanor Folley with a journal kept by her father, a journal that leads them to a mysterious tomb near Hapshetsut's temple in Egypt. It is no ordinary tomb, perhaps the first ever carved in the valley, known to Napoleon and others, but never entirely plundered. Why would such treasures stand untouched? Had anyone breached its darknesses? Together, Folley and Mallory will enter the tomb, though what they find inside will change everything they have believed of Anubis and the strange shapeshifting world they find themselves a part of.

When the goddess Nephthys enlists their aid in stopping Anubis before he can restore the ancient Egyptian world to its highest glory, Folley and Mallory can do nothing but accept the challenge, in hopes of saving the world they live in—even as they know Folley herself holds the key to Anubis' dark plans.

The Ebon Jackal

2019

~ Ancient Egypt ~ Daughters. Mothers. An end to every beginning. Disguised as a boy, Sagira Solimon spent her youth trying to salvage a dead Egypt from the drifting sands, before Englishmen could carry it all away. She found the rings in a cracked bowl, slid them on, and vanished into another world entirely. A world where Egyptian gods still ruled. Broken and haunted, Dalila Folley suffered the loss of her mother and grew up searching for her, knowing Egypt had swallowed her whole. Dalila set herself on a path to unearth Sagira from the Egyptian desert and open the Glass of Anubis once more, no matter that her own daughter was the cost. Eleanor Folley watched her mother vanish into the desert, and though everyone told her Dalila was dead, she refused to believe. Determined to understand the truth, Eleanor pit herself against the dark god Anubis himself, to set the world right once more, but ancient Egypt holds her heart as firmly as Virgil Mallory does, and she won't let either go easily.
