The Lingering

Mac Sanderson has a unique gift – the ability to time travel simply by holding an artefact in his hand. When his father’s archaeological team unearths the ruins of the Great Library of Alexandria in Egypt, Mac is drawn into a series of dark happenings over 2,000 years in the distant past, set in motion when he rescues the beautiful scribe girl, Aisha, from the historic fire that destroys the library.

His heart and mind are stretched to breaking point as he yo-yos between the past and the present in a desperate attempt to change history, to sweep Aisha out from under the pharaoh’s deranged hold, to keep his heart-breaking secret from her and to find a way to somehow bridge the millennia that separates them… and all while unwittingly fulfilling his forgotten destiny as Deliverer of the world’s future. Will the discovery of an ancient portal between this world and the next finally allow them to be together forever?

The Lingering is a gripping love story, spanning millennia and the shadowy Underworld. It combines powerful visuals with dark undertones to deliver a fresh twist on the ever-popular theme of time travel. Fast-paced and action-packed, it’s an epic romance set against a rich blend of ancient history, mythology and magic. Think Indiana Jones meets Titanic big love, wedged between the pages of a dusty old history book, which ends in a strange version of ‘happily ever after’...
