Revelation of the Sands – the final story in the Secret of the Sands trilogy
Deep in the heart of the Great Pyramid lies an otherworldly secret...REVELATION OF THE SANDS
I’m very pleased to announce that the final instalment of the Secret of the Sands trilogy is now complete. It’s been such a rewarding journey and I’m proud of the story of Revelation of the Sands and excited to share it with you. These stories are very special to me. They live in my heart. They are also a representation of my endless fascination with the mysteries of the ancient world. What secrets might these ancient wonders hold…
Revelation of the Sands
Complete the epic journey begun in Secret of the Sands...
The mystery deepens. The danger is ever-present. Incredible discoveries await.
The Great Sphinx is not the only ancient wonder that has incredible secrets hidden deep within it. But uncovering these secrets will have life-changing consequences. There will be no turning back. It will take a great deal of courage and the testing of faith, on multiple fronts, to face them...
The final chapter in this archaeology adventure trilogy now unfolds. The characters you’ve come to know are suddenly thrust down a new, completely different, and even more personal path, to a point of no return. Their journey is about take another perilous turn with mysterious and surprising outcomes that will alter the course of their lives forever.
From the Great Sphinx to Petra to the Great Pyramid, join this final adventure in the Secret of the Sands trilogy…
Revelation of the Sands on Amazon.com
From the Shadows Surfaces…
A new enemy, and an even greater challenge to face a truth that is about to reveal itself…
Vengeance is Sworn for the Pain of the Past…
Choices were made and destinies forged. The past propels the future of those left scarred, toward an uncertain and precarious fate…
A Difficult Journey Begins and Ends…
In the sands of Egypt, to uncover deeper truths and startling realities that will be both frightening and awe-inspiring...
A Revelation of Life Itself…
Will break free of the earthly and otherworldly confines that have held it in secret for so long. Faith and trust will be severely tested, and a journey to the past and future all at once will be undertaken…
I'd be honored if you checked it out and gave it a read. It was nothing short of a labor of love.
Happy reading always!

Lost City of Gold: new archaeology adventure story by Rai Aren
G'day people of Goodreads!
I thought I'd share my latest archaeology adventure story with you. It's a short novel called Lost City of Gold and it's the first story in my new Ancient Quest Mystery series. Here's a little more about the story:
A dangerous adventure beckons deep in the Amazon jungle…
Reckless treasure-hunter Rick Braeden sets out into the uncharted reaches of the Amazon jungle in a dangerous search of the fabled Lost City of Gold. It’s a quest for an ancient city shrouded in mystery that he believes will place him in the history books and bring him all of the riches and redemption that have eluded him. He also hopes to succeed where more than one hundred others, who were either lost or died in the attempt, have failed. As he embarks on his journey something or someone deep in the jungle waits and watches…
Here's the link on Amazon:
Lost City of Gold
I hope you'll check it out and add it to your bookshelves! If you enjoy the story, I'd welcome a review. Feel free to drop me a line as well if you'd like to share your feedback. This is my first short work (it's approx. 25,000 words in length), and I had a lot of fun writing it :)
Happy reading always!
