The Prophecy (Daughters of the People, Book 1) by Lucy Varna

An immortal warrior. A secret from the grave. And a deadly enemy determined to destroy them both.

Maya Bellegarde has spent her entire life searching for a way to break the curse hanging over her and her People, immortal warrior women forced to live in secret on the whim of a vengeful god. When an ancient symbol linked to the Seven Sisters, the progenitors of the People, is found in an unusual grave in a Swedish archaeological dig alongside a cache of rare documents, Maya volunteers to investigate it with James Terhune, a handsome archaic language expert.

The attraction between Maya and James burns strong and bright, surprising them both. But when a mysterious thief raids the archaeological site, they must work together in a race against time to translate the documents before the People’s ancient enemy can interfere, threatening the lives of Maya and James’s families.

James soon begins to suspect, however, that the secrets of the grave are minor compared to the secrets Maya holds, secrets that could hamper their burgeoning relationship and cripple the work they've undertaken. Can she learn to trust him before their common enemy strikes? Or has time hardened her heart to the love that could save them both and help them uncover the only hope her People have for redemption?
