Author of two sci-fi novels "Trapped in a Dream" and "Essence", and the celebrated historical thriller "Mary's Apostles", Victoria now surprises us with her timely sequel "The Quixote Pact".
|
"The 250th anniversary of the American Revolution is around the corner, and you'd be surprised how many unspoken schemes, disguised events, and unknown heroes wait to be discovered. The Quixote Pact, in the form of an intriguing adventure, is my attempt to bring some of them to light.
So, I invite you to join Sofia, a reluctant chosen-one, and her sister Lily, the happy-to-be-chosen one, as they rake through "real history" to unravel secrets hidden in American icons and veiled clues in Founders' writings in search of a lost American treasure said to contain an astonishing pact between George Washington and the Spanish King Charles III." |

THE QUIXOTE PACT: AN OBSCURE COVENANT, THE RACE TO FIND IT, AND ITS UNEXPECTED SECRET
"There was a secret Journal, which has never been published, and another more secret, the Secret of Secrets, which never will be published." —John Adams, 2 November 1815 Sofia Auru-Soto, a psychologist who has made a name for herself rationalizing the unexplained, is asked to attend an unrelated presentation by the elusive Spanish Professor Antonio del Mar. Little to nothing is known about Del Mar, yet he has managed to attract the pinnacle of Washington D.C.'s press corps, claiming to know of a secret pact between George Washington and the Spanish king, Charles III, which could upend what we know of the Revolutionary War and its aftermath. The morning takes a shocking turn when, during his speech, the professor narrowly escapes an attempt on his life and whispers three cryptic words to Sofia before disappearing. |
While baffled as to why he'd entrust the enigmatic clue to her and unsettled by its trailing dangers, Sofia can't pass on this exclusive opportunity to track down the obscure pact. So, joining forces, once again, with her sister Lily, a historian, and despite the acute feeling Del Mar has an agenda of his own, Sofia and Lily embark on another remarkable quest that will lead to an unexpected discovery.
The Quixote Pact is a multilayered story that weaves together true history, a riveting search for a buried secret, and an inspiring revelation.

Mary's Apostles
Read a free sample here This thrilling adventure follows die-hard skeptic Sofia and Catholic Sister Lily as they rake through real history, legends, and Marian sightings in search of a lost relic said to contain a prodigious secret.
Twenty-five years ago, Sofia Auru-Soto survived a traumatic event that everyone around her celebrated as a divine miracle. Today, Sofia is a psychologist running from her past and dedicated to discrediting illusional occurrences. Her life will take an unexpected turn when her estranged sister, Lily, a history professor, shows up without warning, accompanied by an enigmatic journalist, Michael Amir, asking for her help. She claims to have discovered a hidden message in a papal homily that reveals the existence of a surprising alignment of Marian shrines as if a divine path of sorts. Convinced it leads to a prophetic secret, Lily seeks Sofia’s analytical genius to decipher its final destination. But they must hurry; dark forces trail Lily and have already attempted to thwart her investigation. For Sofia, an innate rational thinker, the request makes her uncomfortable for obvious reasons, but suspicious of the obscure influence the charming Michael seems to have over her sister, Sofia agrees to collaborate. The next forty-eight hours unfold into a race through the most intriguing miracles, legends, and sacred artifacts in history in search of the clues that complete Mary’s Path and its prodigious revelation.

In Trapped in a Dream, Faith and Chris barely survive the cover-up of an illegal experiment that gave them telepathic abilities.
Now, in Essence, while on vacation in Barcelona, and as they come to terms with their new reality, Faith inadvertently connects with another experimental subject who she witnesses committing a murder. Horrified, all she can discern from it is that the subject is a woman, and it occurred in some kind of laboratory. Unable to go to the authorities, Faith and Chris team up with a local trusted, though unpredictable agent, Professor Xavier Vall, whose loyalties are not always clear but is uniquely qualified, for undisclosed reasons, to keep them safe. So, once again, Faith and Chris find themselves in the middle of an obscure conspiracy, this time in pursuit of a dangerous woman, unaware she dons extraordinary skills far more advanced than their own, and willing to stop at nothing to protect a secret. But then, the twists and turns will keep you guessing who the true heroes and villains are to the very end. Read a free sample here |
Faith and Chris are two strangers who meet in each other's dreams; an odd ability they have practiced since childhood. It was fun growing up and quite enticing in their teens, but lately they struggle with it, too uncomfortably aware it is far from normal.
One tragic afternoon, Faith, a schoolteacher dedicated to her community, is left bedridden in an odd state of chronic sleep, following an apparently random attack, and Dr. Christian Luxford (Chris), a neurologist who specializes in sleeping disorders, is called in. Naturally perplexed, Chris recognizes Faith, and soon enough realizes that her unusual condition is tied in with their mystifying connection. When a powerful philanthropist with a sinister reputation suddenly offers to take charge of Faith's delicate care, Chris must race to uncover the secret of their telepathy, distraught by her rapidly declining state and slipping custody. Don't discount Faith, though: She may be trapped in her own body, but she is lucid, communicating with Chris, and not as defenseless as one would reasonably think. Read a free sample here |
