BRANDON BLAKE has had a perfect free-and-easy life, except for those unnerving memories of past lives. What he decides to do about these launches him on a daring journey across times and places, challenging everything he knows about our familiar world. In this masquerade called life he learns you never know who you will meet or when. For Brandon it is a lonely game until he finds his true self and true love.
At its core, The Alexandria Scrolls, is about the transformations we all undergo as we grow up to find our place in the world. Brandon's changes are more radical than most, perhaps making his development more satisfying and lasting in a world itself undergoing radical transformations.
Are we a sum of our experiences in this life, or a sum of our experiences throughout all our lives? This question is the cornerstone of the story, and Brandon is the reader's de facto professor. Packed with high-octane adventure and broad historical intrigue, The Alexandria Scrolls is ultimately an existentialist adventure, one that is timely for audiences that yearn for a side of spirituality with their fantasy. With one-third of Americans believing in reincarnation (Pew Research Center) Brandon's identity conflicts will resonate. We may be infinite beings, but we are also predictably human, and those human emotions (love, lust, revenge, etc.) will keep readers invested.
The Alexandria Scrolls is a genre-busting story melding action-adventure with speculative history and magical realism. It delivers in the overlap between Indiana Jones, Moon Knight, and What Dreams May Come.
It's one heck of a story!
