The Tundavala Protocol

In war scarred Angola, journalist Simone Karlén arrives on assignment to write an economic intelligence report. Unofficially, she is chasing something far more dangerous. Drawn by ancient legends tied to the dramatic cliffs of Fenda da Tundavala, Simone believes the region hides a secret powerful enough to alter humanity’s future.

Her investigation takes a violent turn when a casual outing near Luanda erupts into chaos. Gunfire shatters the calm, and Simone narrowly escapes an ambush by UNITA rebels. Separated from her colleagues and alone with only her camera, she flees into the wilderness, moving from remote villages to military convoys as she pushes deeper into rebel territory. While exploring the mountains surrounding Fenda da Tundavala, she walks straight into another trap, only to be saved by Terry Van der Walt, a hardened South African intelligence operative with a past as fractured as the country around them.

What follows is a desperate flight through the Maiombe jungle, pursued across hostile terrain and enemy lines. Seeking shelter beneath a hidden waterfall, Simone and Terry uncover a passage leading into an abandoned diamond mine. Instead of decay, they discover a secret laboratory where a rare and otherworldly metal is being forged, controlled by a ruthless mastermind intent on reshaping the world through power extracted from Africa’s depths.

As espionage, survival, and attraction collide, Simone and Terry are forced to confront betrayal, ambition, and the lingering scars of colonialism and war. Their bond deepens under fire, but duty and desire pull them in opposite directions. In the end, Terry must choose between stopping a global threat and saving the woman who has awakened his long buried humanity.

Sweeping from Angola’s ravaged cities to its mysterious interior, this gripping adventure blends geopolitical intrigue, ancient secrets, and forbidden love in a high stakes journey where truth comes at a devastating cost.

The Temple Gate Conspiracy

Ancient Temples. Parallel Worlds. A Love Caught in the Crossfire of Espionage.

Beneath one of the world’s most sacred temples lies a gate that was never meant to be opened.

When business intelligence journalist and photographer Simone Karlén arrives in Indonesia on a routine assignment, she expects corporate interviews and political risk assessments, not secrets buried beneath volcanic stone. But at Borobudur, an ancient monument older than recorded history, she senses the truth: the temple is not a relic. It is a machine.

Hidden deep below the structure is a gateway capable of piercing parallel realities, a technology centuries ahead of modern science. What began as a humanitarian experiment has been seized by ruthless power brokers determined to reshape history itself.

When the gate malfunctions, Simone and her team are hurled into a fractured world where history has taken a darker turn, and where survival depends on understanding forces far older and deadlier than any intelligence agency.

There, Simone encounters Noah Levine, an Israeli operative she once loved and never truly escaped. Their reunion is dangerous, unwanted, and inevitable. Trapped between realities and hunted by enemies who understand the gate far better than they do, Simone and Noah are forced into an alliance shadowed by betrayal, duty, and a passion neither can afford.

From the temples of Java to covert facilities buried beneath volcanic rock, The Temple Gate Conspiracy is a high-stakes international thriller blending ancient engineering, modern espionage, brutal action, and a love story tested by impossible choices.

Some doors, once opened, can never be closed.

High in the Himalayas, beneath the shadow of ancient peaks and older secrets, lies the legend of Shambhala…

When business journalist Simone Karlén uncovers a trail of financial corruption linked to a revolutionary harmonic engine—technology capable of reshaping human consciousness—she believes she’s exposing corporate fraud. Instead, she ignites a global shadow war.

The CIA. Chinese intelligence. A ruthless independent power operating beyond governments. And at the center of it all: The Sentinel Directorate.

Rescued from certain death by the clandestine guardians of Shambhala, Simone learns the truth: the mythical kingdom is no myth. Hidden deep within the mountain is an ancient force—one that could elevate humanity… or destroy it.

Now hunted across the unforgiving Himalayan heights, Simone is thrust into a relentless race against time. As global superpowers close in, the Sentinel Directorate must protect the secret buried beneath the mountains before it falls into the wrong hands—and before the balance of the world shifts forever.

Torn between her duty to expose the truth and the terrifying realization that some truths could shatter civilization, Simone must make an impossible choice.

Some legends are meant to remain buried.

Some secrets are worth dying for.

And some truths could change humanity forever.

Enter the mountain. Uncover the truth. Survive the hunt.

An eclipse activates an ancient mechanism hidden beneath a medieval fortress—revealing a machine built by the Knights Templar that can tear through time itself. When Tamara is pulled into the 12th century after accidentally triggering the device, she discovers a brutal world of war, shifting loyalties, and a secret designed to survive across centuries.

In the present, her sisters uncover a larger conspiracy: Peñíscola is only one part of a vast system linking medieval engineering to modern science. Deep within shadow networks orbiting CERN, a covert faction known as The Cabal is tracking temporal anomalies—and preparing to control them.

At the center of it all lies the Seal of Solomon, a relic capable of stabilising, weaponising, or destroying time itself. If it falls into the wrong hands, history becomes a tool to be rewritten.

Across centuries, past and present collide as Tamara and a Templar ally fight to recover the Seal before time itself is engineered into a weapon.

A high-stakes blend of history, science, and conspiracy, The Peñíscola Codex combines fast-paced action with intellectual intrigue, ancient mystery, and cutting-edge physics—set against the breathtaking danger of the Templar world and beyond.

Secrets of the Mayan Talking Stones

Hidden deep within the jungles of southern Mexico, the ancient ruins of Palenque guard a legend few dare to believe. La Puerta de Jade, the Jade Door, is said to be a gateway to a lost city of emeralds where gods once walked among mortals and where a power beyond imagination still lies dormant.

Simone Karlén is a passionate journalist sent to Palenque on what should have been a routine assignment. Drawn to history and myth since childhood, she quickly becomes consumed by the mystery surrounding the Emerald City. Her search leads her to Noah Levin, a quiet and brilliant archaeologist whose intense interest in the ruins raises more questions than answers. When Simone discovers that Noah is not who he claims to be, she learns he is a Mossad agent pursuing an ancient artifact believed to be vital to his country’s future.

Forced into an uneasy partnership, Simone and Noah venture into cartel controlled territory, navigating treacherous jungle paths, submerged ruins, and deadly ancient traps. As danger closes in, suspicion gives way to trust and attraction, even as secrets and betrayal threaten to destroy them both.

When the Jade Door is finally revealed, its true nature proves devastating. The aftermath propels Simone into the global spotlight, but the mysteries of Palenque and Noah’s sudden disappearance leave her with more questions than answers. When new evidence emerges months later, drawing them back together, Simone and Noah must decide whether they are willing to risk everything once more for truth, love, and the secrets that refuse to stay buried.
