That Which is Forbidden

Rekéba’s Story - Book One

Descent into Darkness

Darkness seemed to inch closer and fade the light. The weight of arching stone pressed on her senses and chased away all memory of treetop and open sky… Her hands pushed against the drain’s ceiling… but the stones remained in place… just as they probably had for countless years.

- Rekéba searching for the underground vaults.

An ancient stone temple in a dense forest, with moss-covered stones and lush green trees surrounding it.
A carved stone Buddha head embedded within the roots of a large tree.
A stone tunnel made of stacked rocks with an arched ceiling, gradually narrowing into the distance.
A small creek flowing through a lush, wooded area with a stone structure and green foliage.
Close-up of a black and white gibbon with long arms and expressive face, surrounded by green foliage in a jungle setting.

“… the world is passing us by. We’ve lived in isolation for generations bickering … over morsels of the past and, in the process, we are losing our future.” - Mother Nattaya
