Description:
Lila Mae Carver never expected her quiet dig at an overgrown plantation to upend everything she thought she knew about the past. But when her shovel strikes metal beneath the porch of Marshfield Plantation and she lifts out an obsidian orb and an antique map labeled Tartaria, the night erupts with headlights and shouted commands. Federal agents swarm the grounds, and Lila Mae, her journalist cousin Jeb, and her old coach Lee Tanner find themselves running for their lives through the dark marshes of Ponte Vedra.
The map leads them south to Blakely, Georgia, where weathered silos and pre-Civil War ledgers hint at something far older than the town itself. In hidden chambers lined with glowing crystals and tunnels carved by hands too large for any ordinary man, they uncover evidence of a lost civilization that harnessed free energy from the solid sky described in Genesis, built by giants spoken of in Numbers and the Book of Enoch. Visions flood Lila Mae's mind: mud-brick towers under a shimmering firmament, destroyed in deliberate fires centuries ago.
With every step, the agents close in. Drones buzz overhead. Gunshots echo across cotton fields. Yet with the aid of Tavish Boone, a backwoods tinker who has coaxed power from strange shards for years, and Savannah Rae, a librarian who has spent her life chasing forgotten texts, the small band refuses to let the truth stay buried.
From the beaches of Ponte Vedra to the banks of the Chattahoochee, The Buried Dominion unfolds as a gripping story of discovery, pursuit, and defiance. It is a novel for anyone who has ever stood before an old building and wondered why its angles feel wrong, or why certain chapters of history were never written down.
