In 17th-century France, love and revenge are a sword’s length apart, and death can be the kinder fate.
When René Gilbert draws his sword to protect the woman he loves, he provokes a powerful nobleman’s wrath.
Drugged and kidnapped, René awakens in the hold of a ship bound for Morocco.
To survive and find his way home, René must reconnect with his past lives and the mystical powers they hold. His journey leads him from Bordeaux to Morocco and into the secrets of ancient Egypt, while enemies seek to kill him or return him to slavery.
Then he meets Akeefa, the fiery daughter of a Moroccan sheik and his equal with a sword. Their connection reaches across time, but René has left someone behind. As he and Akeefa confront the forces pursuing them, he must decide what his honor demands of his heart.
Together, they may have the power to prevail. Apart, they may lose everything.
The Count of Monte Cristo meets ancient Egypt in Rebirth, the sequel to The Sun God’s Heir: Return.
The plague is closing in on Bordeaux, and René Gilbert must return to save the people he loves. First, he must escape the clutches of a Moroccan sultan.
But an enemy awaits him at home, driven by a hatred three thousand years old. To defeat this ancient power, René must reclaim the knowledge and strength of his past lives. If he fails, death may be the least of what he loses.
Death is not life’s final stop. There are worse ends.
Once disciples of the pharaoh Akhenaten, two brothers are reborn in 17th-century France. René Gilbert seeks to protect the people he loves. Horemheb intends to rule, and to destroy the brother who stands in his way.
To secure his power, Horemheb enlists an African shaman to recover ancient artifacts that have twice helped raise civilizations and bring about their ruin. René, meanwhile, has escaped the murderous sultan of Morocco, but the sultan’s Bukhari guard is close behind.
In the third book of The Sun God’s Heir, René’s journey across lifetimes reaches a reckoning. To fulfill a promise made long ago, he must face his brother and a power that threatens far more than his own soul.
What if the life that changed everything was the one where it all began?
In ancient Egypt, Yochanan and Horemheb rise from poverty to serve the young pharaoh Amenhotep IV, the man who will become Akhenaten. Once bound by brotherhood, they are drawn toward different paths: one toward healing, the other toward power.
As the pharaoh’s vision unsettles Egypt, their choices test their loyalty and demand sacrifices neither can foresee. The conflict between them will outlive the kingdom they serve and echo across lifetimes.
In Physician, the fourth book of The Sun God’s Heir, the origins of René Gilbert’s ancient struggle come to light.
