The Hidden Village (The World Next Door Book 1)

Warring clans, a missing son, and a mysterious role-playing game at the center of it all.

Geof Franklin gets the late-night phone call every parent dreads and learns that his son has been missing for weeks. As he relentlessly searches the city for Alek, he gets pulled into the orbit of a cult-like sub-culture of clans that live by their own rules and think nothing of killing anyone who stands in their way. To have any hope of reaching his son he has to keep digging, but he's digging himself into more and more trouble -- with the mysterious clans, and with the law.

"This is a great urban fantasy novel that doesn't involve immortal blood drinkers and strange interspecies attraction," says a reviewer. "Think Lord of the Rings in Washington D.C., but light and fun."

"This is quite a creative book," says another review, "where the author develops a whole new world of games and fighting clans that take place inside our own regular world."

"The Hidden Village" is continued in "The Underground Escape" and "The Elf Assassin." All three works are available in "The World Next Door."
