Eye of the Desert: an Elizabeth Stanford novel
Eye of the Desert
N K Bauer
Eye of the Desert, the first novel in the Elizabeth Stanford fantasy series. Elizabeth Stanford begins what she believes is a very simple journey, to find her missing grandmother and bring her home safely. Her bizarre dreams of ancient Egyptian temples portend what awaits her. Elizabeth meets mysterious friends of her grandmother: Violet Teasdale, Trevor Winslowe, Unas, Uraeus, and the Tetrad. A massive earthquake sets it all in motion. Elizabeth is plunged into the center of an ancient power struggle that has lasted for eons. She learns the people she meets are not at all what they seem. Even her beloved grandmother has secrets Elizabeth never suspected. One of these secrets has passed from grandmother to granddaughter. Her journey is so much more complicated than finding her grandmother. Elizabeth is drawn into a world she could never before have imagined. It is a world where time and space are severely limiting terms. A world where information travels on the wind. A world where old scores are begging to be settled.

Elizabeth Stanford's grandmother has been missing for five years. Many believe she is dead, but Elizabeth is certain her grandmother is just lost. She leaves for Egypt to look for clues as to where her grandmother Victoria might be, taking Victoria's journal with her. When she arrives, she meets Violet Teasdale, who allows Elizabeth to stay with her. Elizabeth finds a dirty old amulet in a store, and the moment she puts it on, it becomes like new. An earthquake occurs a few days later, after which Violet takes Elizabeth to see Unas and Iraeus, a pair of strange museum curators.
