The Osiris Curse: A Tweed & Nightingale Adventure (Tweed and Nightingale Adventures)
The Osiris Curse
Paul Crilley
Steampunk Sherlock Holmes meets The X-Files with a dash of romantic tension and a large dose of adventure.       When Nikola Tesla is murdered and blueprints for his super weapons are stolen, Tweed and Nightingale are drawn into a global cat and mouse chase with his killers. What's more, it seems that the people who shot Nikola Tesla are the same people responsible for Octavia's mother's disappearance. As the two cases intertwine, Tweed and Nightingale's investigations lead them to a murdered archeologist and a secret society called The Hermetic Order of Osiris. Fleeing the cult's wrath, they go undercover on the luxury airship, The Albion, setting out on her maiden voyage to Tutankhamen's View, a five star hotel built in the hollowed-out and refurbished Great Pyramid of Giza.     In Egypt, the duo begin to unravel the terrible truth behind Tesla's death, a secret so earth-shattering that if revealed it would mean rewriting the entire history of the world. But if the cult's plans aren't stopped, Britain may lose the future.

"What do you think it's like for them... as in... death?""Death?" The word slithered off the end of her tongue as if it was a filthy sock she held out with the tips of her fingernails.

After all, that's her job as a newly-appointed Ban Sidhe (banshee), a death caller. Conflicted when the Inner Ring--the elite group of ruling Sidhe--assigns a fifteen-year-old  boy, Aidan Tanner, as her first death to keen on her road to adulthood, Morgan must make a critical decision. Will she help end such a young life or follow her instincts and refuse to make the call? And if that isn't difficult enough, Morgan's help is needed as the Sidhe and human worlds are about to face a crisis foretold in the Thousand-Year Sidhe Prophecy. With the lingering pain of her mother's absence and the mystery of her father's recent disappearance, the young Ban Sidhe feels lost. Aided only by her overly-critical twin sisters and an eccentric seer, Morgan must confront her weaknesses and make the hardest decision of her life. Alone.
