S. L. Gore

Black magic and ruthless determination on both sides of the Red Mirror steel a daring woman’s rise to mistress of destiny in two universes torn asunder by warring lovers. From the splendorous, cruel world of Hadrian’s North Africa to London and militia-torn Libya, Isis marshals powerful forces to prove herself the Chosen One.

The Black Scroll is the stand alone 3rd volume in a trilogy of parallel stories crossing back and forth over twenty centuries from the glamorous Las Vegas Strip, militia-torn Libya, serene Malta and cosmopolitan London to terrifying Ancient North Africa and Hadrian’s lascivious Egypt.

An escape from slavery leads to a sorceress’s cave, a temple island of her own and the trust of an Emperor. Black magic saves Elektra from crucifixion, but her world is turned on end when she proves to be the instrument of death for the lover she goes back in time to save.

“Gore provides so much rich detail about all aspects of the ancient and modern worlds that it is easy to suspend disbelief and be completely caught up in the fast-moving and gripping story.” – David, California
“Growing up in the Nafusa, the Mediterranean Sea breeze (bahri) is a treat especially in the dry hot summer nights and days. Reading about the ‘Northern Wind’ and Leptis Magna in your novel brought back awesome memories of Libya. You make it so real.” – Khalifa, Canada
“A fabulous rollercoaster ride through ancient Roman Egypt — full of adventure and wit.” – Leslie, Ann Arbor
