In 1909, the world is an unstable place. Germany and Great Britain posture and glare at one another in a prelude to World War I, and the Young Turks are challenging the last Turkish Sultans for control of the Ottoman Empire. The Relics and treasures being excavated from desert sands are beginning to demystify human history and bring fame and wealth to archaeologists. The traditional world is fighting a losing battle with the modern world, and in no place is this loss felt keener than in the Middle East, a region steeped in the mysticism of ancient human religion. For one British archaeologist, the chaos of the time is heightened by one simple fact: gender. She is a woman, a woman whose intelligence and ambition force her into direct conflict with the male-dominated spheres of imperialism, scholarship, and politics. Not to be stopped, however, her adventurous and daring spirit leads her into the world of intrigue and enemies. Never one to back down from a fight, she pursues her dream of uncovering one of the greatest archeological finds of all time and claiming her rightful place beside venerated male contemporaries. Her name is Anne Steelyard. This is her story.
The beautiful and adventurous Anne Steelyard is back in The Gate of Dreams of and Starlight. In the second installment of this exciting series, Anne is still searching for the City of Miyah and her ticket to independence from her British, aristocratic family. In the harsh, unforgiving desert, Anne is captured and taken prisoner by a Vizier who does the bidding of an evil wizard who knows Anne's worst fears. While being held hostage, Anne learns of a secret partnership between the Turks and the Germans that will put her countrymen and its allies in terrible danger as World War I looms in the distance. The second in a three graphic novel series, Anne Steelyard: The Garden of Emptiness, Act II: The Gate of Dreams and Starlight, features an exciting script written by bestselling author Barbara Hambly as well as amazing original cover art by Glen Orbik.
In the third and final installment of the Anne Steelyard series, A Thousand Waters, we find Anne still traveling across the desert with the help of Lady Hester's caravan and her friends. As Anne continues her search for the elusive City of Miyah, she discovers something utterly sinister and evil that makes her question everything and question who is worthy of her trust. With danger and duplicity surrounding her, Anne does whatever it takes to protect her country and to stop the Germans from establishing their secret base. Anne also believes this perilous path will secure the key to her freedom.
