Introducing ...

Book Number 5 in the Amulet Series - Dream of the Prairie Moon

Check out the description of the 5th and final book in the Amulet series.

Her past tried to kill her. Her ancestors taught her to rise.

Atina Brighton has survived events that should have broken her. After a brutal attempt on her life, she awakens not in a hospital but in 1868 — among the many fallen Cheyenne ancestors of the Washita Creek Massacre. There, she walks the same unforgiving path they travel, enduring hardship, loss, and revelation.

A love story that surpassed the elements of time, Atina began to heal in the arms of her Pawnee enemy-turned-lover. Bravely facing off, she caught his attention, and Bear's Brother was captive; caught in the web cast by the enchanted amulet that brought her to him. The journey reshapes her, proving that the strength she thought she lacked had been carried in her blood all along.

Returning to her own time, Atina is no longer the frightened woman Mason tried to destroy. Now forged by history and guided by the enchanted amulet her son Bobby found, she’s ready to face the demons that controlled her life.

But healing doesn’t happen alone.

Ben, a steady and compassionate lawyer, steps into her world just when she needed love and support. He refuses to let her collapse under the weight of fear, being held up by friends who stand beside her, and a lover who reminds her she’s worthy of joy. But will the olive branch that is offered be enough to support Atina, who appears to be crumbling under the rollercoaster of emotions?

I'm still working on the cover but might look something like the pic on the left... what do you think?

Julie Pope Petrou - Author

I am Julie Petrou, the mastermind behind Julieuncharted.com. I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest and have never lived anywhere else. I have worn many hats in my day, but the author hat came late in life, although I feel as though I'd spent years missing out on building upon my passion. 

I have been blessed with so many great things in my life, it's as if writing is the crescendo to a beautiful masterpiece. I have had the honor of being daughter, mother, wife, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend (forgive me if I forget one or two in there), and as far as I can see, this won't be slowing down. I thrive in the outdoors, love hiking, biking, walking my dogs, gardening, and, most of all, creating deep, interesting stories that resonate with readers.

I'm semi-retired and following a dream. Who could ask for more?
