About The Forbidden Jewel
The temptation of power. Refusal to be controlled. Destiny versus choice. In a world ruled by fate and fire, only a heart unwilling to be owned can survive. In a fusion of alternate history and an Asian-inspired mythic fantasy that takes place during the days of Genghis Khan and the Mongol empire, in the shadows of the Kunlun Mountains, Jade discovers that the power sustaining the dragon Sinj comes from the forbidden jewel, an artifact capable of granting unimaginable dominion to whoever claims it. But the jewel's greatest threat is not its magic. It is temptation. Tuskaain, her lifelong companion, struggles under the weight of ambition and enticement as the jewel's promise of power threatens to consume him. Jade must choose between power and principle. To defeat the dragon, she must destroy the jewel. To destroy the jewel, she must risk losing everything. In the end, Jade refuses every external source of power-wizardry, wealth, dominion-and claims instead the only strength that cannot corrupt: self-sovereignty. The Forbidden Jewel is a sweeping epic fantasy about temptation, destiny, and the courage it takes to reject power in order to remain free.
