Finding one’s self could ultimately result in losing one’s self… Killian Blackcrown has accepted his new life with his mate, Cordelia Golden. Set to take on the Pack Master role, he longs to put his past behind him so he can forge into the future with a clear conscience. However, in order to do that, he needs to put his past to rest before it comes back and ruins everything. Cordelia Golden longs to have a family of her own with Killian, but she can’t help the feeling that her mate is fighting his own inner demons. When push comes to shove, she’ll stop at nothing to ensure her family’s safety, even that of her younger sister, Sarah. Looks can be deceiving when it comes to getting what is desired. And in this case, it’s power. But who will rise to it and who will fall?

A fated meeting changes everything... Killian Blackcrown wants nothing more than to leave the family legacy behind him. From the abusive ways of his father’s ruling, to the countless lives that were taken simply because they were deemed unworthy, Killian won't run a pack that way. He renounces himself from the role of Pack Master and becomes a lone wolf. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy and his past will eventually catch up. Cordelia Golden will not be forced into a loveless marriage. The magic that ascends the next Alpha may only pass to the next male heir—or in her case, her chosen mate—but she knows her fated mate is out there and she intends to find him. If she doesn't, she faces a life sentence of servitude to an unwanted suitor. Cordelia stumbles upon Killian and the two collide in a battle of wills, but when two pieces of a broken soul become one, nothing can tear it apart. Unfortunately, the evil is calling from Killian’s old pack and it’s out for blood. He is about to face the ultimate battle, Alpha against Alpha, and he can't afford to lose.

Pyramids had a specific function and this book endeavours to detail exactly how and when they operated. Pharaoh Khufu built what probably stands as the greatest ever construction that humans have produced (given the tech constraints of the time); the Great pyramid. Its accuracy, and size are just awe-inspiring; it was the tallest building in the World until the Cathedrals of Europe arrived on the scene! According to ancient historians though, Khufu was never buried there and when the Arabs first broke in to the upper chambers in 820AD, they found the sarcophagus empty! It had been ceremonially sealed without the king inside!! Are we expected to believe that they built the World’s greatest ever construction as a tomb, then sealed it forever, but without the body of the king? Isn’t that a little odd? The reality is, it was meant for something much greater than his tomb. What purpose does such a grand resting place for your body really fulfil? It appeases the ego of the living king, but thereafter, it achieves nothing. A hole in the ground can preserve the body just as well, and in fact it probably has, for that’s where most believe Khufu was buried––in an as yet undiscovered shaft tomb. Very unceremonious for someone who had such a magnificent structure built! Khufu’s father was King Snefru; he built the World’s two tallest buildings at the time. We could reason that one was to be his tomb, but then what was the other one for? The forgotten story of the pyramids is that they were principally built for the king’s Heb Sed festival, the most important event in his lifetime––should he live long enough to perform it. He had to wait 30 years before he could participate in this magical ceremony, so he spent 20 odd years building a structure that was vital for its success. After 30 years at the helm, the king was supposed to be ritually killed. Heb Sed enabled him to avoid this dire fate. His reign would be extended if he passed the rigorous tests involved in the ceremonies, but not only that, he would also become a living incarnation of the Sun-god. This ensured that he would live on for all eternity. Pyramids weren’t built for vanity, instead they were vital mechanisms for achieving these ends and so every king in the Old Kingdom constructed a pyramid to facilitate his immortality. This is the third and final book in the series, to be read after 'Architecture of Ra' and ‘Tombs of the Gods’.
