About This Book

Elizabeth Waters is an archeologist who can see 'shadows' of the past, something she keeps a secret and that's both a blessing in that it points her towards archeological discoveries, and a curse that has her sometimes doubting her sanity. On an archeological dig in an ancient Maya site in the Yucatan, the 'ghost' of an Maya priestess communicates with Elizabeth.
