The Hinge Points: The Desert's Edge

An Archaeological Thriller Series ~ Book 2

The Nazca Lines have guarded their secrets for two thousand years. The guardians have waited even longer.

Three months after her world-shattering discovery at Teotihuacán, Dr. Celeste Marín is still learning to control abilities she never asked for. The frequency pulses in her awareness, connecting her to a network she’s only beginning to understand.

Then a package arrives. Sand from the Nazca Desert. A single word: Patience.

The second site is calling.

In Peru, Celeste finds Elena Quispe, a woman whose family has protected the Nazca lines for generations. Elena has spent her life waiting for someone with the Resonance. But she doesn’t trust easily, and she doesn’t trust outsiders at all.

The consortium hasn’t stopped hunting.

Nathaniel Cross and his organization have followed Celeste across an ocean. They know about the alignment. They know about the chamber buried beneath the desert. And they’re prepared to use any means necessary to access what the guardians have protected.

Time is running out.

The celestial window opens in twenty-one days. When it does, the chamber will respond to whoever achieves the perfect absence required to receive its secrets. Celeste must master abilities that guardians spend lifetimes developing—or watch everything Elena’s family sacrificed to protect be stolen.

The Desert’s Edge delivers:

• A new continent, new guardians, new revelations
• The expanding mystery of the global network
• A heroine growing into her abilities
• Cultural depth and authentic setting
• The stakes rising as the countdown continues

This is Book 2 of The Hinge Points, a complete four-book series. The journey began in The Mercury Mirror and continues in The Stone Forest.
