I graduated from the University of Natal, Durban, South Africa, with a double first in my B.A. We also acted out the stories for my long-suffering parents, whom I see now were remarkably tolerant of my budding thespian and script-writing talents! Ghosts, vampires, werewolves, and skeletons leaping out of coffins were hot favourites in the cast of characters that populated “Gruesome Gables” where all these adventures were played out. My earliest story-telling talents came to the fore when, from the age of ten, I entertained my three younger brothers and their friends with serialized tales of children undertaking dangerous and exciting exploits, which they survived through courage and ingenuity (of course!). I was brought up on the children’s classics because my parents are also avid readers. My schoolmates called me a bookworm, and nothing’s changed since then. I can’t remember NOT having a book in my hand.

And how annoying for them that their tag-along companion, Kim, seems to have such good ideas when they are stumped.įiona Ingram was born and educated in South Africa. As their adventure unfolds, they learn many things and face dangers that make even their perils in Egypt look tame. Join Justin and Adam as they search not only for the second Stone of Power, but also for the Scroll of the Ancients, a mysterious document that holds important clues to the Seven Stones of Power. Can Justin and Adam find the second Stone of Power and survive? And why did Aunt Isabel send a girl with them?
Time is running out as the confluence of the planets draws closer.
Little do they know there is another deadly force, the Eaters of Poison, who have their own mission to complete. Khalid, is following them as they travel to Scotland to investigate an old castle. This stone might be embedded in the hilt of a newly discovered sword that archeologists believe belonged to King Arthur: Excalibur. Continuing the adventure that began in Egypt a few months prior in The Secret of the Sacred Scarab, cousins Adam and Justin Sinclair are hot on the trail of the second Stone of Power, one of seven ancient stones lost centuries ago.
