Anyone ready for a dark fantasy?
Genre; mythology/folktale (Quote from the publisher, "Sci-fi /fantasy/mythology/history. Think ancient aliens.")
Synopsis; The Dragon Court has ruled uncontested for millenia, bringing knowledge and prosperity to all. The Strongholds of Madayi Kavu, Tartaria, Magan and Shiimti have trained generations of royal children. Ningi has built a line of Ziggurats known as ‘the Band of Peace’ around Magan, protecting those within its borders.
Yet all is not as it seems---far to the West in the land of Undal, mightiest of the nations, the Royal Queen and her children are struck with a mysterious illness and perish. Whispers are that the Dragon Court is responsible, while those in the Temples claimed she had sequestered herself in her chambers, experimenting with dark magic.
A grieving son, trained as a Mulla Xul by Eris herself, swears vengeance. In his quest for truth he will become the greatest threat Tiamut has ever known.
Three Princesses of Magan, sisters by blood, hold the fate of the Dragon Court in their hands

Random Facts:
I
am British-American. The Brits think I sound American, Americans
can't place my accent.
I
spent a lot of time in South-East Asia, which has given me an
appreciation for other cultures and a love of spicy food.
I
studied Mandarin Chinese, but that was a looooooong time ago, so a
lot of it is rusty.
I
am also hopeless on a motorcycle--to my eternal frustration, as it
looks so easy
That
evening Rhea was taken to the entrance of the Black Pyramid where she
had to make her way through the chambers alone, shedding one piece of
jewellery or clothing at each chamber, until she was completely
without any protection from the heat of the stones that had soaked in
the warmth of the earth, the cold of the air that drifted down from
the entrance, or the hardness of the pebbles that littered her path.
The
shedding of her garments symbolised the forsaking of her parents and
their ways, along with who she was as Princess of Magan. Yet to her
it felt more than mere symbolism, it was a severance from all she
knew and loved. In the center chamber Rhea met an altar lit softly by
a single candle, with only a skull and crossbones placed by its side.
Rhea knew she was meant to stay awhile and meditate on the mysteries
of life and death, but hoped to steal away, the sense of foreboding
was overwhelming, and she who had been born of a dark nature shivered
in fear. Two hooded figures came out of the darkness and stood, one
on either side of her, not speaking, yet their presence comforted
her.
