This modern-day, soul mate love story began in ancient Egypt during the Sixth Dynasty. In the first story (to be published in the book, The Pharaoh’s Queen), Pharaoh Teti and Nadjet-M-Pet (Teet), fall deeply in love. Later, while on her deathbed, they pledge their eternal love to one another. Committed to their belief that their spirits will survive death, they agree to search for each other and love again and again, throughout eternity.
The Pledge is set in San Antonio, Texas and opens in September 2002. Teti and Teet are Tom and Tish, the principal characters of the book. From their points of view, the reader feels their uncanny physical reactions when they first meet and shares the emotional affinity as their life energies recognize the reunion.
As the story unfolds, Tom and Tish experience identical dreams; vignettes of events from past lives that offer clues to who they once were. As they struggle to find logical answers to ancient messages, they live everyday lives as recently divorced adults. They meet, fall in love, and again have their happiness interrupted by forces still determined to keep them apart.
