Bound

Raylynn Thorne thought her family's secrets were buried beneath Ozark soil; silent, forgotten, and lost to time. But when her sister's death uncovers an ancient amulet and a trail of hidden research, Raylynn is pulled into a mystery that spans generations, sacred sites, and civilizations long erased from history. Emma's journals speak of seven ancient Seals, guardians of humanity's awakening, each hidden within Earth's most mysterious places. As Raylynn and her daughter, Maya, follow the trail from the Ozarks to Stonehenge and beyond, they realize they're not the only ones searching. A secret order has waited centuries to reclaim the power that could alter the course of human evolution. To protect what her sister died for, Raylynn must face the darkness within and rediscover the light that connects them all. Every revelation brings her closer to a truth that defies time, science, and belief itself: awakening isn't an escape, it's a remembrance of who we are and the soul's purpose waiting to rise within each of us. Bound is the first novel in The Awakening Saga™, a cinematic blend of spiritual mystery, ancestral legacy, and science-infused mythology. Perfect for readers who love atmospheric thrillers, sacred sites, and stories that bridge the seen and unseen worlds, reminding us that the key to humanity's evolution has always lived inside the human soul.
