Description
A young woman's dreams and reality meet, and everything rests in the balance.
Nineteen-year-old Amara's dreams come true when she lands an archaeological internship in Tunisia. But her triumph turns to chaos when a historical artifact hurls her into an alternate version of ancient Carthage, where magic reigns.
Stranded in a world of warring factions and mythical beings, Amara's only way home is through a cunning Phoenician god. His price? Complete a perilous mission that could rewrite history itself.
As Amara uncovers the god's true agenda, she realizes that altering one world's past could shatter the fabric of all realities - including her own.
Now she faces an impossible choice: secure her return home or protect the balance of every dimension. The clock is ticking...
A Note From the Publisher
Her debut fantasy novel, "Excavating Fate," acquired by Lodestone Books for a Summer 2025 release, promises to whisk readers into a mythical ancient Carthage. This time-bending tale, told through the eyes of an archaeology intern, showcased its potential as a quarterfinalist in the 2024 Screen Craft Cinematic Book Competition.
Andrea's storytelling is also enriched by a tapestry of real-world experiences. Her background as a U.S. Army veteran and Airborne School graduate, brings a unique perspective to her writing. Her current role as a Clinical Social Worker and therapist also provides profound insights into human nature that add depth and authenticity to her narratives.
When not crafting worlds or healing minds while residing between her homes in Georgetown, Kentucky and Gillette, Wyoming, Andrea can be found lost in a good book, cherishing family moments, or weaving herself into her community's fabric through volunteer work.
