It's Always The Quiet Ones
"What do you think happens when you're around boys all the time? You adopt. You experiment. You become distracted. You discover things. You... catch feelings in locker rooms." • A St. Augustine's Alumni. St. Augustine is no ordinary Catholic school for boys. Strange things happen here- most notably, mysterious expulsions. Boys who seem perfectly normal one day vanish the next, without explanation or warning. No one knows it except for those who understand what they've done... those who do the same but never get caught. Noah just appeared at a strict Catholic school for boys- with no one really knowing where he came from. Quiet, reserved, and carrying secrets heavier than his books, Noah slips into a world where silence hides more than just rules. Then there's Liam- reckless, sharp, and full of questions he's too scared to ask out loud. When a dare turns into something unexpected, everything they thought they knew about themselves begins to unravel. In the shadows of chapel halls and echoing locker rooms, feelings rise where they're least expected- dangerous, beautiful, and forbidden. How far will they go when the quietest hearts speak the loudest?
Echoes Beneath the Stone
A group of archaeology students arrives in a remote village in Mexico for a summer project that was meant to be simple. Their task is to map a system of limestone caves and underground rivers, record measurements, and return with data for their university. At first the work feels like an adventure that blends science and travel. The air is filled with excitement and the promise of discovery. Yet the caves soon reveal secrets that go far beyond the task they were given. Deeper passages lead them into chambers untouched for centuries. Murals painted in strange colors show figures and rituals unknown to any existing culture. Carved faces stare from stone walls as if placed there to watch intruders. The group debates whether they have found evidence of a lost civilization or something even stranger. Wonder slowly turns into unease. When one student vanishes without a sound, excitement is replaced by fear and desperation. The search leads them through a spiral of stones, shelves lined with skulls, and a hall filled with bones arranged in patterns that speak of sacrifice and ceremony. They find an altar that hums with a rhythm matching the river below, and channels of water that refuse to show reflection. Every new discovery feels alive, as if the cave itself listens and decides who may pass. As danger rises, the students realize they stand at a crossroad. They can push further and risk their lives for knowledge that could rewrite history, or they can leave the place untouched and protect the secret for those who built it long ago. Their final choice will test loyalty, courage, and patience, and will shape whether the story of the hidden civilization is carried into the world or left buried beneath the stone forever.Complete
The Lost Tribe: Enoch's Children Book 4
Neither Cory nor Thomas could imagine how a trip across the desert in a borroed 1992 Ford Explorer could end in a discovery that would rock the country. A broken drive shaft stranded them. The decision to hike home across sacred Indian lands took them to the glass canyon. The discovery of a wooden door in the wall of that canyon introduced them to a people who had hidden in the deep caves for a hundred and sixty years. The only possible danger would be to the people themselves. They would not be immune to diseases we take for granted. They would be confused by a civilization that passed them by. Their light-deprived skins would be easily burned by a sun they'd never seen. There shouldn't be any danger to the boys unless an old enemy sends an assassin to settle his vendetta with them. Such an assassin would be more devious and vicious than his master. The boys recognize him only after Salah, their mentor, is struck down in front of them. They have to dig deep for courage enough to survive and find justice for Salah and his family.Complete
