Cover Girl - Evie Carrington (Patreon)

Evie Carrington, a young woman with a spirit as adventurous as her ancestry, stands at the precipice of a summer that promises more than just the sweltering heat of the city she wishes to escape. Born into the prestigious Carrington family, known for their legacy in high society, Evie has always yearned for a different kind of legacy—one carved from the mysteries of the past and the thrill of discovery.

Her journey begins with an unexpected opportunity to leave the city's towering concrete for the wild, untamed swamps of Florida. Trading ballroom dances for the creaking boards of a houseboat, Evie finds herself in a world far removed from the glittering soirées of her family. With her dusty rose blouse tied at the waist, beige cutoff shorts, sheer-to-waist light fawn pantyhose, and golden sandals, she is a picture of both grace and readiness—a stark contrast against the backdrop of the murky waters and dense foliage of the swamp.

In "Mystery of the Sacred Stones," Evie's quest to aid her neighbor's sister, Edna, quickly entangles her in a web of ancient secrets and supernatural forces. As she navigates the treacherous waters of the Gulf and delves into the history of the Calusa tribe, Evie must rely on her wit, courage, and the Carrington tenacity to confront the unknown.

But the swamp holds more than just the echoes of the past. Unseen dangers lurk in its shadows—mysterious figures, hidden artifacts, and the enigmatic Aphir, an ancient sorceress whose intentions are as cryptic as the sacred stones themselves. With each step, Evie draws closer to uncovering truths long buried, but at what cost?

From the perilous pursuit by Dr. Leonard Voss, a nefarious archaeologist with his own agenda, to the venomous sting of a scorpion, every decision leads Evie down a path fraught with danger. Her journey is a dance with destiny, where the rustle of her attire becomes the soundtrack of her trials and tribulations.

As Evie Carrington ventures deeper into the heart of the swamp, each choice becomes a matter of survival, each revelation a piece of a puzzle steeped in legend and lore. Will she unravel the mystery of the sacred stones, or will she become another lost tale in the murky depths of Florida's history? Only the brave—or the foolhardy—dare to find out.
