A 2020 Kirkus Review Indie Editor Feature Pick
Told in the style of the hit TV show THIS IS US, the ORPHAN DREAMER SAGA is a modern-day retelling of ANNE OF GREEN GABLES meets THE DA VINCI CODE in a play of fate that will change the destiny of an orphan and the future of humanity.
This second full-length novel in the Orphan Dreamer series-ORPHAN TREE and the VANISHING SKELETON KEY (OT and VSK)-is an ambitious tale where betrayal, harsh realities, twists and turns, and ancient relics converge with angelic warfare and a seventeen-year-old depressive schizophrenic, Daniela Rose Cavanaugh.
Daniela, the Orphan Dreamer, is about to learn that some dreams should never come true. A brainiac and classic introvert, she adores her biological research at the world-famous World War II atomic bomb lab, Los Alamos National Laboratory. But secretly, she has another life: launching a brave quest to save Earth from a supernatural invasion. It's totally not your normal college-sophomore stuff!
Releasing the power of the Glass Tattoo-her time-traveling device-Daniela slips through time and explores three realities where she must gather critical clues to help solve an ancient riddle: who is Chi Xi Stigma-666, the antichrist-a dark force that plans to eradicate humans by unleashing a ruthless pandemic and instigating World War III, a.k.a., Armageddon. Will the Orphan Dreamer-Earth's newest kick-butt Indiana Jones-solve the mystery of an ancient Hebrew statue found inside the ruins of a bombed World War II-era church in Hiroshima, Japan?
Because if she fails, humanity and Earth may not survive Armageddon-the most deadly war of all time where humans must fight an extraterrestrial army of Nephilim, half-demon, half-human beings currently hiding and training on Wormwood, an invisible planet.
