About the Book

When a team of explorers led by Dr. Allan Cline stumbles into a hidden society, it soon becomes clear they are in the grip of a powerful and deadly force. The people in the strange land are protecting life-changing healing and military substances. Allan gains knowledge of the secrets and has a compelling story to tell. He falls in love with a beautiful woman and is torn between protecting the people he feels a deep affinity with and his obligation as a scientist to herald new revelations to the world. The people tell him they won’t allow the explorers to leave, nor stay. It’s a death sentence. When members of the team begin to disappear, it becomes evident that sinister forces are at work. Treachery and greed imperil him and the rest of the explorers, and he feels the weight of centuries of betrayal and brutality that shatters lives. Will his bold actions and reckless love save his team or send them to their deaths? THE CRYSTAL BIRD is a compelling and magical story of adventure, star-crossed love, and history.
