With magic there are always unintended consequences...

Only a high-adept can minimize them

But even then mistakes are still honestly made

Hallowed Promises is about such unplanned consequences, about misunderstandings made, and the lengths people will go in order to right them.

Pride, ego, peer pressure, and disrespect for long-standing traditions all play a role on the dramatic paranormal stage, just as the rigid adherence to the status quo stifles natural creativity and innovation.

Hallowed Promises is the fourth stand-alone book in the series, Adventures in Paranormal Archaeology. It is a thoughtful tale of archaeological discovery, coven espionage and high-diplomacy, and lost love. Once again the Austrian Egyptologist Erik Reissen plays his part, as does the beautiful Egyptian witch Melaina Makris and her husband J.J. Stone, a Lictor of Magic and carrier of the First Soul of Creation. As always, dark forces lurk about to muddy the waters, but this time one of their brethren contributes to a potentially positive outcome for the future.
