Wandering Spirits: A Gothic Tale of Love, Loss, and Ancient Secrets

by Andreya Stuart

In the summer of 1829, Egypt’s golden horizons beckon four intrepid gentlemen and a daring lady in search of hidden treasure—and perhaps a thrill no map can chart. Darius, the dutiful son of a wealthy Alexandrian merchant, accepts his assignment to guide them along the Nile, drawn by equal parts curiosity and duty. But as their party drifts down the Nile, whispered secrets and cruel intentions turn a pleasure cruise into a crucible. Darius—and his arrogant charges—rush into a web of forbidden magic older than any Empire.

For anyone captivated by Gothic mysteries spun against the grandeur of Empire, Wandering Spirits delivers an unforgettable journey through love, loss, and horror. Sometimes, what we search for should never be found.
