Ancient Deceptions

He followed a memory he should have buried. Evil was waiting.

When archaeologist Michael Rempart learns that Irina—the woman he once believed dead—is alive in St. Petersburg, he abandons everything to find her. Fifteen years have passed since they were young and in love. Time has hardened them both.

But Irina is more than changed.

Shadows move behind her eyes. Her thoughts slip into voices not her own. And whenever Michael is near her, reality fractures.

He is drawn into visions of imperial Russia—into the glittering, decaying court of Tsar Nicholas II and Empress Alexandra, where Rasputin’s mysticism festers beneath crystal chandeliers and whispered rituals. What once destroyed an empire has not died.

It has endured.

As an ancient force tightens its grip on Irina’s mind, Michael realizes the past is not finished with them. History is alive. And the greatest deception may not be what he was told—but what still walks beside him.

From the frozen canals of St. Petersburg to the shadowed Carpathians of Ukraine, Ancient Deceptions is a dark occult action-thriller of possession, imperial decadence, and a love that may not survive the truth.

Book FOUR of the Ancient Secrets Series: Where the past is buried... but never dead. From hidden relics to forbidden knowledge, the Ancient Secrets novels follow archaeologist Michael Rempart across continents as he uncovers mysteries history tried to erase—each tied to alchemy, ancient power, and dark forces that refuse to remain buried.

Perfect for Readers Who Love Archaeological thrillers with global stakes Ancient mysteries rooted in real history Alchemy, relics, and forbidden knowledge Supernatural suspense with dark undertones High-intensity adventures spanning past and present
