Lost Origins series by A. D. Davies (Antony Davies) (#1,4)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.3 MB
Overview: A. D. Davies grew up in Leeds, West Yorkshire. In high school his ambition was to be a writer of horror novels, although in adult life he became an avid fan of crime fiction. After a long stint in an unsatisfying job, he attended the University of Leeds where he attained a degree in creative writing. Shortly after graduation, he moved to the Midlands to marry the love of his life. He is well-travelled, his favourite destinations being New Zealand and Vietnam, which has influenced his writing immensely (as seen in his novel The Dead and the Missing). For now, however, globe-trotting is taking a back-seat to raising his two children and writing, although he hopes to one day combine all three. He now resides in Staffordshire, UK, with his wife and two children.

1. Tomb of the First Priest (aka Tomb of Aradia)
The ancient world is not what we thought.
In the city of Prague, freelance treasure hunter Jules has finally located the bangle stolen from his dying mother, an artifact that may unravel a centuries-old secret: the location of an ancient tomb hidden from the world by one of Christ’s disciples.
But when a reclusive, ruthless billionaire beats him to the artifact, Jules joins forces with an institute of unconventional archaeologists who reveal to him clues penned two thousand years ago. Clues that support the claim his mother’s bangle holds properties that science cannot explain.
And Jules appears to be the only person who can activate them – a responsibility that will tempt him toward the dark path he has avoided all his life.
As both parties race to decipher the bangle’s origins, they uncover a trail meant only for the holiest of men, leading to an apostle’s manuscript, the hunt for a tomb alleged to conceal great power, and a breathless, globe-trotting adventure that threatens to destroy them all.
4. Guardians of the Four Shields
When an ancient people’s greatest defence becomes the modern world’s most lethal threat.
Since his last adventure, Jules Sibeko has spent over a year trying to build a “normal” life. He has cut all ties with the Lost Origins Recovery Institute, moved in to a new apartment, and even joined the NYPD as a patrol officer, hoping to put his skills to good use. But when his old friends need help defending a fabled shield once carried by a giant warrior, he cannot turn them down.
What Jules doesn’t know is that this shield is one of many, defended by an ancient order, and pursued by a hostile nation. It seems he is not the only one who understands that the ancient world holds more secrets than conventional history can accept. And those secrets are sometimes too dangerous to know.
With help from an eccentric professor who believes legends are real, a New Zealand intelligence officer with more secrets than he can reveal, and a reluctant Jules risking his new “normal” life and career, the Lost Origins Recovery Institute is back in business. Their quest will hurl them from the Americas to New Zealand, and on to Asia, where they must learn their allies’ secrets and stop the shield’s true purpose from being unleashed by power-hungry men who cannot hope to control it.
