What should I do with my life?

Belario wishes his wife and husband hadn’t left him behind. But with Charra in a distant land to fund their family’s safety, and Minnor taking a grueling guard job in the Egyptian temple to keep their cubs fed, Belario finds himself safe and sound with too much time on his hands.

His loneliness will steer him into the arms of a tender caretaker.

And his restlessness will lead Belario’s well-honed mind to discover a massive conspiracy of cruelty against his people.

All it will take to save his family and the miiquils themselves is to betray the Egyptian crown. Simple. Deadly. Impossible.

Will Belario find the strength to risk his happiness — and even his life — to save everything that matters to him?


For fans of alternate history, paranormal fantasy, and court intrigue… Infernal Tides whisks readers to an ancient Egypt where shapeshifting aliens walk the temples, fields, and trading outposts…

Picking up several decades after Boiling Point, the second book in the Gods of Atlantis trilogy continues to build on a rich but intimate science fiction-infused world, now inspired by ancient Egypt. At court in the Old Kingdom, the anthropomorphic cast reminiscent of Brian Jacques’ Redwall series face evolving relationships in the vein of Kristin Cashore’s Graceling series and a tense game of allies and enemies reminiscent of Xiran Jay Zhao’s Iron Widow.

Clever, sensitive protagonist Belario will appeal to readers who loved Richard Gansey of Maggie Stiefvater’s Raven Cycle, Graystripe of Erin Hunter’s Warrior Cats novels, or Hazel from Richard Adams’s Watership Down. Bel stays busy unraveling conspiracies and entanglements that stretch from the far-flung trading fleets of ancient Egypt all the way to the threshold of his own home, with (relatively) happy endings for the book’s romantic relationships.
