This new urban fantasy adventure intertwined with a slow burning queer romance sets our adventurer on the quest of a lifetime. Closeted mythologist and museum curator Dr. Rhys Wilder has just been offered the adventure of a lifetime: a grant to recover Excalibur, sword of the fabled King Arthur, whose existence has yet to be proven. However, Rhys soon discovers he's signed up for more than he realizes after meeting the man behind the grant, a Southern oil tycoon and antiquities dealer, D'Arcy Duchesne III. Luckily, Rhys finds help in unlikely places and some diverse voices, including a rainbow-haired frenemy, the grandson of a wealthy tight-lipped British dame, and a dashing, muscular man Rhys finds terribly sexy and extremely irritating. In book one of the Ancient Wonders series, Rhys not only navigates the mysteries of the Arthurian Legend and the mysteries surrounding the sword, but also the current political intrigue to complete his goal - all the while wrapping himself deeper into dangerous waters from which there may be no escape.
