This boxed set contains the first three books in the bestselling Nia Rivers Adventures by Jasmine Walt and Ines Johnson. This action-packed series features an immortal archaeologist and her tomb-raiding side-kick as they uncover lost artifacts, tangle with Greek gods, cross swords with Templar Knights, and much more!
The first three books in this boxed set include:
Book One: Dragon Bones
Meet Nia Rivers: archaeologist, fashionista, and an ancient immortal with a serious memory problem.
For the last couple of centuries, Nia has been trying to fill in the blanks of her past by shedding light on history's darkest stories. Her motto: the ugliest stories are the ones that deserve to be told the most.
But when a mysterious woman comes forth with a two-thousand year old relic from Nia's past, Nia isn't sure if the story connected to it is one she wants told to the world. Unfortunately, Nia has no choice but to uncover the truth--fast--before a greedy land developer buries the site forever. The fact that he's also an immortal, with a millennia-old grudge against her, doesn't help. Neither do the dark assassins who have been stalking her for centuries, and who've suddenly decided to up their game to end her life.
Letting her enemies have their way might be best for Nia, especially when the truth might expose a horrific crime from Nia's past. But all stories deserve to be told.
Even the ugliest ones.
Even if they say you might be a mass murderer.
Book Two: Demeter's Tablet
Nia Rivers knows that immortality comes at a cost. So when she finds out that the Greek gods have devised a way to offer everlasting life to humans, she heads down to Athens to find out more about the mysterious cult of Demeter.
What she doesn't expect to learn about is her own involvement in the rituals.
With her bestie, Loren, by her side, Nia must determine if the Olympians are the righteous gods they proclaim to be, or the villians in this chapter of history. The broken heart she's still nursing from Zane's betrayal, and the conflicting feelings she has for Tres, aren't helping. But if Nia can't get her head in the game, the Titans will rise again, and the souls of all humans on Earth will be at risk...
Book Three: Templar Scrolls
When an ancient relic of Camelot goes missing, who do Arthur and his knights call? Nia Rivers, ancient immortal and archaeologist extraordinaire, of course!
Nia jumps at the chance to go to Camelot, especially since she's been banned in the past. Thankfully, Arthur is willing to let Nia's past breaches of his castle, theft attempts, and a certain debacle with his sword be bygones if she'll help him recover the Holy Grail. But as Nia strives to keep her fingers to herself, enemies from the past resurface in a race to acquire the ancient holy relic.
As Nia and the knights head on a quest to get to the treasure, Nia gets a revelation about her heritage which could spell doom for those of her kind. She’ll need to find the grail before it falls into enemy hands and a prophecy comes true...a prophecy where the immortal life of someone she loves may very well come to an untimely end.

I need more!!! I absolutely loved this audio book!!! The story, the characters, the romance, the drama – everything! Although, I will say that this reminded me a bit of the movie Hancock! Same type of scenario where you have immortals that are cursed to become human if they are around each other for too long. And this really bites if the love of your life happens to be another immortal! Nia is one of these immortals, a renowned archaeologist, and totally in love with Zane who is another immortal. One of the drawbacks to being immortal is that she only remembers certain things and starts forgetting her memories after so long. She is convinced to go to China to help out with some dragon bones that were found which her nemesis Tres is trying to build over. But this is where the intrigue starts as she keeps getting attacked by flying ninjas. And she doesn’t understand why she is so drawn to Tres and starts having flashbacks of a time with him.
This story was SOOOO good! I really want to find out what happens next and what her history is with Tres… although I really, really, really love her with Zane.
The narrator, Kate Marcin, did an amazing job bringing this story to life!
I've previously read and reviewed book 1 and 2 separately but I'll sum up briefly. The girl power between Loren and Nia is so much fun. Nia is a many millennial old Immortal with a holey memory. She has forgotten more things than most will ever know. She's dedicated to preserving history and making sure all stories get told no matter if she's fighting supernatural ninjas, crazed goddesses and their siblings or protecting magic itself! Her love triangle with two other Immortals provides a layer to these tales and takes "its complicated" to a whole other level. Really amazing. I highly recommend picking up this box set and digging in!
This is a great series. I love the world that Ines Johnson has created. The intersection of mythology and the real world was fun to read. My only quibble is the love triangle. I can't figure out why the heroine keeps leaving her main love interest. But, the world and characters more than make up for it. And, maybe it will make sense when I finish the series which I plan to shortly.
If you love to read books with interesting plots, well-developed and relatable characters, and non-stop action, you'll love this collection. I personally loved the anthropological theme, the unique mythos, and the way the authors showed how our history shapes our present and future. I hope to see many more books by these authors. I can't wait to see the next book.
