The Crystal Bird is an engaging story of history, star-crossed love, mythical magic, and intrigue.
Slavers encounter a formidable group of warriors in the East African Rift Valley, and they are slaughtered. Unbeknownst to the rest of the world, the warriors will thrive and prosper in isolation. Centuries later, archaeologists Allan Cline and Christopher Ward lead a team of explorers to the same region, and they stumble into a cave, leading to a mysterious society. They gain knowledge of life-changing secrets and discoveries that upend the story of civilization. When rogue members try to make an escape with precious substances, the peaceful but deadly people sensing danger, strike back. Allan feels a growing affinity with the people and finds himself falling in love with an influential woman, exploding drama and intrigue. He feels the weight of centuries of betrayal and brutality that shatters lives.
