Ancient Deceptions, book 4 in the best-selling Ancient Secrets series by Joanne Pence, is available now as audiobook
Hello again, dear audiobooks friends! Today, I am really glad to let you know that an audiobook that I’ve been waiting for, for a long time, is now available! I’m talking about Ancient Deceptions, book 4 in the deeply captivating and highly entertaining Ancient Secrets series written by USA Today Best-selling author Joanne Pence.
And as you probably already know, I am a huge fan of these novels filled with mysteries, secrets, and action. A new narrator, Bolton Marsh, performs this fourth audiobook, and after listening to more than one hour, I think that he does a very good job with the characters and the events.
The audio production of Ancient Deceptions is just a little over 11 hours in duration and it is published by Quail Hill Publishing.
Now, let’s take a closer look at the Publisher’s Summary so that we can find out more details about the story and after that, I will introduce you to our best-selling author and to the new, but talented, narrator.
A dig in a remote site uncovers demonic killings and buried secrets that shatter archeologist Michael Rempart’s world in this sweeping supernatural thriller that crosses time and space from the present to the last days of the Russian tsars.
When Michael unexpectedly receives a recent picture of a long-lost love, a woman he thought was dead, he gives up everything to search for her and to find answers to questions that have plagued him through the years. Instead, he uncovers more mysteries as he’s drawn deeper into the occult and the ancient power of alchemy.
Michael’s search takes him from St. Petersburg, Russia to an archeological dig site in Ukraine’s Carpathian mountains – a desolate area where medieval knights once roamed and horrifying secrets are buried – and at the same time, it creates a mystical connection to the riches and debauchery of the court of Nicholas and Alexandra and the “mad monk” Rasputin.
As Michael’s quest continues, he soon finds that while he hunts, he is also being hunted. Will he find all that he’s looking for before it’s too late?
Join the many fans of the Ancient Secrets novels. Each can be listened to as a stand-alone work.
