Secret in the Circle

a spiritual adventure novel by Paula Hartwood
(now Ovidne)

Overview

A lecture in London about a mysterious ancient crystal skull reminds Kirrily Haydon of a map her Australian grandfather had given her as a child. He had told her it was a map to find buried treasure or, more precisely, a crystal skull. She had thought it a game, but was it? Now, years later, her grandfather has given her a cryptic crossword to solve and a strange map, and again refers to his "treasure".

Unravelling his clues, Kirrily and her companions soon find themselves among the Mayan and Inca ruins of Mexico and Peru, the sacred sites of England and the great pyramids of Egypt. Caught up in a world of ancient secrets and powerful sacred symbols, they discover primitive civilisations were not all they seemed to be.

As Kirrily and her co-seekers play the treasure trail like a computer game, across Australia, the Americas and Europe, they come across more than just buried treasure as they uncover for themselves other gems of the Universe, and an introduction to a spiritual and metaphysical world they never dreamed existed.

From the author of The Celestial Crossroads comes another wonderful story - suspense, mystery, adventure. I couldn't put it down. Ashtara

Eva ran her hand caressingly over the carvings on the tomb's lid. "Who was this Pacal? He must have been important to deserve a resting place like this."

"He was king of Palenque in 7th century," Anna-Rosa replied. "But very special king. He was like Aztec god, Quetzalcoatl. He was leader of people who came from the Atlantic, like with Quetzalcoatl, and his symbol ... continue reading »
