In this fast-paced and mysterious adventure, a famed antiquities expert stumbles across an ancient secret that leaves her questioning everything … and wanting more.
Jane Sinclaire’s life was going exactly as planned. She’d finally found the perfect assistant, her latest book was a best-seller, and the university had given her the freedom to travel the world in search of rare artifacts. She couldn’t ask for anything more – or so she thought.
When Jane is summoned to the jungles of Thailand to investigate a ruined temple and an artifact rumored to have great power, she must enlist the help of helicopter pilot Matthew Hawk. She finds him equal parts intriguing and maddening, but he’s the only person brave enough – or crazy enough – to fly her in.
Together, Jane and Hawk are pulled deep into the legends and mysteries surrounding the artifact, the mythical Soul Stone. Jane’s expertise is tested when she finds ancient stories linking the stone to her own family, and she begins to uncover secrets that have been kept for generations.
The only thing Jane knows for sure is that the stone is special … special enough that men have been killed over it. And Jane and Hawk could be next.

A little Indiana Jones adventure, a little added romance and you have Adera: the soul stone. I picked up this book for $4.99 for my nook and figured I would give it a try.
I was pleasantly surprised. I was hooked from the beginning, not just with the paranormal adventure/history, but also with the dialog between characters. It was my first foray into adventure, and I loved it!
My only complaint would be the typos, of which there were a decent number. I do not think it took away from the story at all as it's not the fault of the author. Otherwise, an excellent read!
