Under the Crags (The Voyages of Simeon Carter and Peter Truman Book 1)
About
A missing species. A freak accident. A world that shouldn’t exist.
Fifteen-year-old Simeon Carter is on a mission in the rugged mountains of Tasmania. His goal? Help his father find the Tasmanian Tiger—a creature the world thinks is extinct. But when a terrifying avalanche strikes, Simeon is swept away, falling through a hidden crack in the mountain into a place the maps forgot.
Simeon wakes up in Villa Loka, a secret kingdom buried deep beneath the earth. Here, the sun is an artificial ball of fire, the people speak a strange tongue called Inglezco, and everyone bears a mysterious green gaze. Before he can even find a way back to the surface, Simeon is thrust into a life of royalty he never asked for.
But the silence of the underground is about to be shattered. When a startling disappearance leaves the kingdom in chaos, Simeon must navigate the treacherous Land of Doom—a place where the light never reaches and legends come to life.
With only his backpack and his wits, Simeon must decide: will he remain a prisoner of this stone world, or can he find the courage to save his new friends and find his way home?
