The Legend Of The Lost Child

Life has never been easy for Jace, but things have quickly become more complicated. With a new family and new name, he is returning to the home he had when he was three years old. After learning he is being hunted, he knows his survival requires him to learn to control his newfound powers at an accelerated rate. Feeling like an outsider in what he hoped would be his forever home, Jace desperately tries to figure out where he truly belongs. Jace quickly learns that his impossible witch-werewolf hybrid presence has awoken the curiosity of many supernaturals. After a series of attacks, he realizes the stakes are even higher. Jace must discern who is a friend and who is a foe. Failure could mean death for him, his family, and his friends.

"You must go to the Lost Child! You must rescue my son and bring him back to me!" A strange and unfathomable demand, uttered by an enigmatic Frenchman on the eve of Christmas, 1852 will cause Captain Tor Petersen and the crew of the Ellyan to embark upon a long and perilous voyage--a journey that will take them from the placid waters of the Caribbean and plunge them deep into the lawless jungles of French Guiana. There they will confront marauding natives, soldiers and escaped slaves, even death itself. At the end of their quest lies a fortune in gold and the realization of their dreams; and perhaps for Tor himself, something he has long sought but never found...a thing more precious than any glittering metal. The Lost Child is a tale of romance and high adventure, based on a legend of the Caribbean, one that that may indeed have its roots buried in truth. The story is set in a historic time period underscored by periods of conflict and transformation, including moments that will force each of the Ellyan's crew to confront deep and abiding changes in themselves--a challenge not so far different from our own era.

Suka—the Initiated One—has entered a new sphere of training in the yogic crafts. To become an adept monk, he must learn how to master the mysterious Time-Trix—the Kaalchakra. However, a series of supernatural phenomena invades the School of Yog, unleashing powerful beings and astonishing secrets that are thousands of years old. The ancient civilization of the yogis is threatened with enslavement, Suka loses his magical abilities and the Wheel of Time begins to spin out of control. Yet, the fate of the world still rests in the hands of the Initiated One. Will Suka master the Kaalchakra before it is too late? Will he summon the higher powers of Mahakaal? Will he gain the Supreme Force?

"The story of the vulnerable white person vanishing without trace into the harsh Australian landscape is a potent and compelling element in multiple genres of mainstream Australian culture. It has been sung in "Little Boy Lost," brought to life on the big screen in Picnic at Hanging Rock, immortalized in Henry Lawson's poems of lost tramps, and preserved in the history books' tales of Leichhardt or Burke and Wills wandering in mad circles."--publisher website.
