Orphan Falls

In this thrilling adventure perfect for fans of The Da Vinci Code and James Rollin's Sigma Force series, The Orphan Dreamer must embark on a dangerous adventure into her past and our future to save America . . . and then the world. The clock is ticking closer to the end of America's reign as the preeminent nation in the world, and Earth's demise will soon follow if nineteen-year-old freshman medical student and Earth's last Orphan Dreamer-Daniela Rose-cannot satisfy the Bat Creek Stone curse. Daniela Rose Cavanaugh's family has called her the next Indiana Jones since she was twelve. Now, she's a nineteen-year-old medical student suffering from her first heartbreak. Later in the story, she's a thirty-five-year-old doctor. In all timelines, she's Earth's last Orphan Dreamer, the wielder of the Glass Tattoo. A time traveler destined to right wrongs. After the funeral of a childhood nemesis' mother, Daniela uncovers a modern-day warning hidden within the pages of an ancient religious text. This ominous sign has been in the sky for thousands of years-since the beginning of time and light. The ominous sign is the sun. On April 8, 2024, the sun will crisscross North America, drawing the last arm of the dark trajectory of two total solar eclipses that will have formed an X over North America. When the last arm of the X is formed, the Bat Creek Stone curse triggered by Daniela Rose's own ancestors will end America-and then the world. To save her homeland and then the world from Nomed's diabolical plans, Daniela must travel in time into worlds of the past and the future and solve the mystery of the Bat Creek Stone. Her mission takes her to Genghis Khan's lost tomb, where she must activate the Eternal Light-the long-lost original Jewish menorah. In her present timeline, she's a nineteen-year-old and never-been-kissed girl when a handsome coed breaks her heart during her first year of medical school. Can she return from the hurt and subsequent depressive episode in time to satisfy the curse, traveling the world and across timelines to find lost relics and then solve the mysteries that will break the curse and save the world? Is the Light inside her heart that compels her to seek truth and redemption for her enemies and friends alike bright enough to quench the darkness closing in around her broken heart, her homeland, and the rest of the world? If Daniela fails to satisfy the curse, Earth will stop spinning . . . but the oceans will not stop rotating at their previously synced rotational speed of 1,000 miles per hour. Tsunamis. Floods. Earthquakes will destroy Earth-the fate that Nomed, a Watcher, has been waiting for since the beginning of time, after the fall of the dark angels. He wants to claim Earth as his own and the hoards of Watchers fighting Legna and his army. Orphan Falls: Running Wild and Free is a three-part story within the epic Orphan Dreamer series. This is Part One.
