Book Description
To Luca Matthews the dangers of the high mountain peaks are the air upon which he thrives. In the ruthless pursuit of his goals he would sacrifice anything - even another climber's life. His friends and family know and fear it. So when he sights a virgin peak in the Himalayas that exists on no map, no one is surprised when he becomes obsessed with being the first to scale it. Together with his climbing partner, Bill Taylor, they set off into a region of Tibet highly restricted by the Chinese. But a freak accident puts one of their team in mortal danger and it is left to a local Tibetan girl to lead them to Geltang, a monastery that has been hidden from the outside world since the Chinese Cultural Revolution, when most of the monasteries were pillaged and burned. When the Chinese secret police get wind of them, Luca and Bill find themselves embroiled in an age-old struggle, not for their lives but to protect the precious secret that Geltang hides, and the legacy of Tibet itself.

Book Description
An ancient, archeological fantasy with lost magical technology and hidden temples. The Kings of Viemis have sent their daughters to Kava for generations, to become one of the many wives of the all-powerful Maelstrom—and not a single one of them has been seen or heard from again. With the departure of the latest princess looming, her royal parents have spared no expense in finding some way to stay informed of her fate. On their command, the kingdom’s glyphwriters rushed to redevelop a lost magical technology, capable of communication over great distances. But the technology requires a glyphwriter to operate it. Cyrele, too low-born to rise beyond the rank of an assistant despite her skill, receives the command to become the princess’ personal glyphwriter. It leaves her with no choice but to embark on a journey no one has ever returned from, across a land filled with the Maelstrom’s power—and riddled with his secrets. So long as no one seeks out the Maelstrom’s secrets, the princess’ retinue will arrive safely in Kava. But secrets exist to be found out—the only question is, who will survive the discovery? Journey into the unknown with Secrets of the Forbidden Land, a short adventure fantasy novel about a resourceful but unwilling protagonist pitted against all-powerful god-kings.
