A Mountain's Shadow
(2026)(The second book in the Necklace & Dagger Duology series)
A novel by Elora Maxwell
Ten years after the events of The River’s Deception, Lillian Bach is still fighting the same fight that her mother left her. Years of espionage in Germany on behalf of the British government have turned her from wide-eyed explorer to hardened spy.
While on a mission in Germany, Lillian hears word of another enemy expedition aiming to reach the Lost Colony deep in the Amazon. When she returns to England and shares the news with her allies, she knows that there is no choice but to return to the place that took everything from her. Unleashing the necklace for the first time in a decade, she vows to make things right on behalf of her mother and all those who have died in search of the dagger.
Of course, she won’t be able to do this alone. Despite growing apart over the years, Lillian still has Ben Reed by her side to protect her and guide her. Ben knows the risks, but he made promises to her that he would never dream of breaking. There’s no denying his love for her even after everything they’ve faced in the last 10 years of undercover work.
The two adventurers are joined by new faces put in place by those that they’ve come to work for. The threats are bigger than ever, as are the stakes. There may be new allies to trust and new locations to explore, but the mission remains the same: secure the dagger before the enemy does.
A Mountain’s Shadow is the second book in the Necklace & Dagger duology. Dive into this historical adventure series spanning a decade that’s perfect for fans of The Mummy and Indiana Jones.
