Controlled by the Fates. Can Macy's love for her soul mate survive the bonds of time... and death? 17-year old Macy Lockhart is as far from normal as any one girl can be. The problem is, she doesn’t know it yet. After a bloodstone pendant is mysteriously left on her door, Macy’s life begins to change in ways she’d never dreamed. And while she will eventually come to realize that nothing is ever what it seems, that her life is a tangled web of lies and the Fates themselves pull the strings, for now she is left with only the explanations that they offer her. Macy is led to believe that if she doesn’t return to a previous doomed life, one in which she served as Queen Cleopatra ‘s handmaiden, the fate of the entire world will be threatened in a way that would destroy history as we know it. She learns that she has lived thousands of lives, each one ending tragically…but none as tragic as this one. After returning to ancient Egypt, she is faced with heart-wrenching decisions. Unless she interferes with Fate’s plan, the very thing she was born to protect, her soul mate will die leading Marc Antony’s forces against Rome. Can she really stand aside and watch the love of her life die all over again? In this fascinating novel-length prequel to The Bloodstone Saga, Courtney Cole sets the stage for an epic journey that will have readers holding their breath until the very last page of the very last book has been turned.

Critics say: My Vamp Fiction says this about The Bloodstone Saga: “I just have to say this author keeps blowing me away with these books. I’m totally and completely infatuated with them. I’d even go as far as to say that they may just be my favorite series of the year.” The Book Holdup says: "Camelot…that is all I think I need to say! How perfect is it that Harmonia is back in the time of knights in shining armor looking for a mystical sword to save Olympus and rescue her soul mate? Magical! Once again Ms. Cole gives the reader quite a ride." Tanya Marie on Goodreads said: "The Bloodstone Saga is pure literary magic!!!! This is my new literary chocolate -- my new literary gold!!!" Darcy on Goodreads says: "Fabulous! My favorite of the series so far. I cannot wait until the next book comes out." Helen on Goodreads says: "There has never been a series that has given me as many goosebumps, made me want to scream for joy, and cry for lost ones. In literature world that seems to be filled with vampires and werewolves, this series is fantasically refreshing.
