Collecting the Constellations

"An immensely refreshing contribution to the adventure genre..." - Andrew Rostan, AN ELEGY FOR AMELIA JOHNSON (one of USA Today's best graphic novels of 2011)

"It all starts out with a dagger and unravels gracefully from there...an almost Sherlock Holmes vibe to the novel." - What Is That Book About?

"Collecting the Constellations is a fun, smart, adventure novel. Charlotte is like a female Indiana Jones. It's got mysterious artifacts, shadowy international organizations, action, and romance. What's not to like?"- Goodreads Reviewer


Charlotte Daly is goal-oriented, inquisitive, and tireless— ideal for her role as a researcher at a prestigious museum. She’s celebrated behind-the-scenes as an up-and-coming talent. She just never expected her best find to come from her great aunt’s basement.
It’s dazzlingly unique—a dagger made entirely of blue sapphire, flawless except for a few specks in the handle. To determine its secrets, Charlotte convinces her boss to let her re-trace her aunt’s travels to its source– with the accompaniment of her longtime friend and co-worker, Rory Hobbs.
Charlotte’s clues take her to Kathmandu, where they discover Charlotte’s aunt may not have been the noble adventurer she imagined. Conspicuous wealth, violent attacks, and grand myths plague the pair as they jump into a world of secret societies and treasure hunters they never knew existed.
