You've just opened the door to something fantastically different and mind-blowingly cool!
Here's why...
Tintagel Castle, the ancient ruin, Cornwall.
I really love ancient history and writing adventure stories... and being a bit of an old adventurer and explorer myself, my books are very down to earth, true to life, exciting and extremely realistic. That means no wizards, no magic spells and definitely no morphing werewolves or zombies. Just good, believable, exciting stories with a very cool backdrop of ancient history, archaeology and characters that we can relate to and get to know well.
These adventures have a distinct international flavor, (or flavour, if you eat 'tomartoes' instead of 'tomaytoes'), as each book is set around an ancient site in a different part of the world. We first meet teenage siblings Natasha and Alex from London, and Lorenzo and Gabriella from Milan in The Obsidian Mask, as their archaeologist parents are working together unearthing the tomb of an ancient Mesopotamian warrior queen. But dont be fooled, experiencing the workings of an exciting archaeological dig and the fascinating ancient artifacts unearthed by the the team is just the tip of the iceberg; this is a dangerous, exciting thriller and there's a lot more to it than meets the eye.

Turn up the sound and be transported to the desert! This is the book trailer to The Obsidian Mask, based on an archaeological dig in what used to be known as Mesopotamia, the cradle of civilization.
I think you'll really enjoy these books...
Archaeology doesnt have to be make-believe, It 's exciting enough As it is!
"These books are different from anything you've read before. You'll feel like you are actually there, on a real archaeological dig". See what other readers thought about The Obsidian Mask in the 'REVIEWS' above. If you'd like to read the synopsis, click 'BOOKS'. But be warned, don't read them if you don't want the spoiler!
The sequel to The Obsidian Mask, Secrets of the River, is based in northern Italy. What on earth would hidden art stolen by the Nazis during World War 11, Hannibal of Carthage and his elephants of war, and a cache of ancient Etruscan ships buried in layers of silt under the railway station in Pisa possibly have in common? Mysterious goings on at Lorenzo and Gabriella's ancestral villa in the hills of the Trebbia Valley lead the four teens from book 1 suspecting that someone very close to home is hiding a disturbing secret. But after unravelling the clues, the four teens realize that some secrets should perhaps have been left well alone. Another exciting, international story based around history archaeology and adventure.
The Irish Queen of Algiers, book 3, the four teenagers Natasha, Alex, Gabriella and Lorenzo find themselves in the thick of another dangerous puzzle, this time in north Africa. Well, you can hardly blame them; wouldnt you want to find out why an old, cracked grave, in a dilapidated, crumbling palace courtyard miles from anywhere, almost completely swallowed up by the encroaching Sahara desert, has the name 'Catherine' inscribed in Arabic on its side...
Aside from this exciting, ongoing series I have also written several short stories, the first of which, The Clearing, is now available directly from me. The synopsis is on the drop-down menu under 'BOOKS'. It is a story about a boy who stumbles across something that he really shouldn't have, and depending what he does with it, it could change the balance of the world.
Please feel free to ask questions about the books, I look forward to hearing from you. It is great to be in touch with my readers! Here's the email; info@carolineludovici.com.
Enjoy!

P.S. Did you know, that for every copy of The Obsidian Mask sold, a tree will be planted to replace the one that was chopped down to make it? Together we will doing a great thing for the environment. I think that's pretty cool, don't you?
