Theme

Genre

Alternative history, which perhaps let you see things with different eyes, coupled with a touch of adventure ala Indiana Jones, Lara Croft or The Mummy.

Reader Experience

Mystical as far as the mysteries surrounding the order are concerned. Exciting about the discoveries being made by the two researchers.

Reader Tone

The tone is somewhere in the middle. There are dark mysteries, mystical mythical creatures, the rise and fall of nations, and funny and loving moments.

2. "Scavenger hunts" through the excavation sites
