A Vanished Artifact. A Doomsday Cult. A Rescue Against
Time.
Invited to Cairo to lecture on black market antiquities,
AnaRose Preston expects academic sparring, not a desperate chase through
Egypt’s shadowed corridors. When her assistant Jo disappears while sightseeing,
AnaRose uncovers a chilling truth: a fanatical cult seeks a lost gold ushabti,
crafted to imprison the soul of Apophis, the ancient god of chaos.
They failed to find the relic. Now they plan to sacrifice Jo
and bind Apophis’s spirit to her body.
To save her friend, AnaRose must navigate forgotten tombs,
decode cryptic texts, and outwit a zealot army determined to unleash
devastation. But the sands are shifting fast, and the cult will use any means
necessary to see their dark purpose fulfilled.
She came to speak. Now she’s fighting to prevent hell from
being unleashed on Earth. Grab your copy of AnaRose and Pharaoh’s Gold and join
the fight to keep an ancient evil buried.

Behind the Chase: Shadows Beneath the Sand
Before the cult, there was curiosity. Before the sacrifice,
a friendship. Before the gold, a warning buried in time.
AnaRose Preston arrived in Cairo to lecture, not to run. But
when her assistant vanishes and whispers of Apophis echo through the ruins, the
sands shift. The air thickens. And the relic’s legend begins to awaken.
This moment, where myth collides with madness, captures the
soul of AnaRose and Pharaoh’s Gold. It’s not just a story of rescue. It’s a
story of reckoning.
A Note from the Author
I wrote AnaRose and Pharaoh’s Gold to explore how far we’ll
go to protect those we love, and what ancient truths we risk unleashing in the
process. This trailer brings that tension to life, and I’m honored to share it
with you.

“AnaRose and Pharaoh’s Gold” by Mary Ann Bernal is the anticipated sequel to the award-winning novella “AnaRose and the Templar’s Quest,” and part of the AnaRose Action and Adventure Novellas series. In this latest action-packed thriller, AnaRose showcases her specialty and skills by saving further artifacts from the sly and cunning grasp of espionage, murder, and suspense.
With familiar and familial characters, AnaRose travels to Egypt with a joint purpose: to recover an ancient golden ushabti from the black market, and to keep it from members of a secret undercover religious sect. This troubling sect seeks to utilize it to bring life to the ancient Egyptian deity Apophis and his agenda of darkness, disorder, and chaos throughout the world. Along the way, questions, answers, kidnappings, and potential human sacrifices are in store as AnaRose, Jo, and Adam watch their backs at every turn and face off against members of an international conspiracy.
Despite its novella length, the reader can expect action, adventure, and suspense packed between the covers. Each page and chapter holds its own against larger books with more room for fluff. Inner dialogue is a writing style that advances the storyline with character development continuing from the first story. This clean novella is great for all ages, from teen readers to adults.
A positive for readers and parents is that no negative language is found in this story, making it a safer reading option without compromising content; also, besides situations with the “bad guys,” the situations and relationships among the main characters present as positive, setting an example for the teen reader. The characters’ relationships allude to possible “interests,” but the storyline is innocent in this category. While it has its major and minor roles, the reader will learn about Egyptian history, deities, and the selfish act of stealing and selling antiquities – serving a dual purpose of being educational and enjoyable.
“AnaRose and Pharaoh’s Gold” by Mary Ann Bernal is a standalone story but is complemented by the inclusion of its predecessor, book one in the series. AnaRose is a positive role model for females of all ages. Realistically, the story has the potential to be devoured in a day/shortened period or savored for several days. Here’s to hoping there’s another adventure for AnaRose soon!
