“You’re too clever not to know what we’re walking into,” Neil went on. “You know perfectly well how dangerous it’s going to be. You’re just… choosing to be courageous, over and over again, even when the whole world rises up against you. Aren’t you?”

He's right she really is amazing.

Whatever is happening with Neil is absolutely not normal just like with Jacobs

“It would be a shame,” Jacobs continued evenly. “If I had to hurt her to convince you to offer us your full cooperation.”

Not again 😫

Steal the tablet. Save the dolt—if she was feeling generous. And maybe see if she could squeeze more information out of Julian about who was really pulling the strings of this whole affair.

This series has such great women!!!! I love them all.

“Mr. Bates,” Jacobs returned smoothly. His gaze dropped to Adam’s belt, and Adam let out a groan.
“Come on!” he protested. “It’s not like I can even…”
His voice trailed off as Jacobs plucked the machete from Adam’s belt.
“…Use it,” Adam finished mournfully.
Jacobs really was a bastard.

😂😂

“To Egypt, then,” Ellie determined firmly. “I will not allow myself to be so self-absorbed in the future. One cannot claim to be committed to righting injustice and then abandon that principle when it is not a matter that impacts one personally.”

I really like this girl

Ellie gently pushed a lock of hair back from his forehead. “Don’t you dare try to decide that for me,” she declared softly.

One who might use his oh-so-important position in the world to do something to help her live the life she’s always dreamed of—the life you got handed on a damned platter!—instead of worrying about where the hell she’s been putting her legs!

Please keep going this is great!!!

“So these hieroglyphs spell the name Moseh,” Constance mused. “Which sounds an awful lot like Moses.”
“Moses is Moseh,” Neil grumbled. “It’s an Egyptian name—Moseh. We’re the ones who say it wrong.”
“To the Arabs, he is Musa,” Mr. Al-Ahmed offered. “For the Hebrews, Moshe.”

Omg yesss!!!! English speakers always say the names wrong

If they are not held the same standard, why should we women be?


Amen, sister, Amen.

Ellie found that she had a greater respect for indecency laws as her eyes dropped involuntarily to Adam’s chest. Even when still slightly filthy and moderately bruised, that torso could cause a riot.
He grinned down at her.

Honestly girl same!!! I have a thing for pecs and abs.

Ellie’s dreams were big. They were dangerous.
The bigger the dream, the greater the sacrifice.
What would Ellie be willing to sacrifice to pay for her big, dangerous dreams?

“Nobody has maintained any of this for well over two hundred years. What could it really do?”

Girl you basically cursed yourself 🤦🏼‍♀️

“May I kiss you back?” Adam asked as his hands tightened on her.


This is soooo cute!!

“Word of this gets back to London, what do you think is going to happen?” he demanded.
“Maybe word of it doesn’t need to get back to anyone,” Ellie suggested uneasily.
“So—what? We just lie to everybody for the rest of our lives? One of my best friends? Your brother ?” he emphasized.

Omg he was so hot and now he's being like this... and like I know!! Different time periods and different rules but holy shit

“ No, You protected me from Jacobs. You took a chance on my map. You—you lost your boat , and you never once made me feel like it was my fault. You treated me like an equal partner—like… like a colleague when you were the one with all the knowledge of how to get where we were going.... “

Especially that you throw his lucky rock, and he still protecting you 😂

Ellie didn’t move. She barely breathed as that coiled, ravenous beast inside of her hissed its low demands until she was finally graced with oblivion.

Girl, live a lil who cares!!! Says the virgin, btw 💀

“Fight with me,” he repeated, calling out the words over the relentless cascade. “Tell me why we should keep going.”
“I… I’m not sure that we should,” Ellie admitted, stammering out the reply.
“Wrong answer,” Bates returned flatly.
“You said it was a bad idea!” she accused, rising from where she sat at the bow.
“What do I know about it?”


I love him for this.

What's up with her dreams???!! Is it the medallion? 👀

So he has ADHD doesn't he? Alsooo he's one of her step brother's friends from university ahhh it's soo meant to be!

He was taller than her. With his feet in the muddy bottom of the river, the water came roughly to the bottom of his ribcage.
Ellie was able to make this measurement with greater accuracy as he promptly yanked his shirt over his head, exposing an alarming and entirely indecent expanse of chiseled male flesh.

Girl, describe his abs more!! I have a thing for abs leave me alone 🤣

What happened in the wilderness could stay in the wilderness.

Baby, that will not happen!!!

that was one option she would not be pursuing. She would rather face down a live crocodile than ask Adam Bates to guide her into the interior. Surely her circumstances could never become that desperate.

You say that now... 🤣

“It’s a Belize word for fancy white people. A little rude, if I am honest,” Mrs. Linares said conspiratorially. “Tito will hear about that later.”

And bakra means cow in Arabic 🤣

“You are getting on that boat,” she declared flatly. “You are going to the Caribbean. You will purchase your equipment with the pile of earnings from your dull job that you have never bothered to properly spend. You will hire a guide, find your city, and become the most famous archaeologist in the world.”

Everyone of us needs a friend like Constance

“You don’t require employment,” Mr. Henbury spluttered. “That’s what you get a husband for!”

Oh my God!! fuck this man and every man that thinks like him. And thank God wasn't born in such a barbaric time period.

And then one day, one day, a Fire Lord of his bloodline would look upon his strong, united country, and sit the throne in peace.

What Ozai achieved was not peace, brother!!!!

“You broke one of the sacred Air Temple relics. A clay turtle.” Yangchen flashed Kyoshi a frown befitting the powerful lady of steel who’d famously enforced a great peace upon the world. “See that you replace it. There’s only one more lifetime after yours before it’s needed again.”

AHHHH AANG!!!!

“I gave each nation everything it wanted but only realized my error too late. People shouldn’t have everything they want. No one is entitled to their every desire. To live in balance, we must willingly decide not to take all that we can from the world, and from others.”

Having the conformation that Yangchen wasn't the perfect Avatar is just .... wow ...

She could feel a response. She could hear the voices helping her, guiding her where to look. Kuruk no longer blocked her path. The Water Avatar opened the door and showed her the way.

THANK GOD!!! I WAS TERRIFYIED
